Hello there!
Greetings!
Option (b) i.e. (C2O4 )2- is the correct option as it has two donor donor atoms and due to this the ligand (C2O4 )2- is capable of bonding to the central atom through two donor atoms and thus it is said to be a bidentate ligand as we know that a bidentate ligand is a ligand in which there are two donor groups/atoms that can bind to the central atom in a coordination complex.
thankyou
