Hydrolysis of trans-$\mathrm{[CoLCl(en)_2]^+}$ ($\mathrm{L = NO_2^-, NCS^-, OH^-, Cl^-}$) results in a product (A). The tendency to form cis-isomer of the product (A) follows the order [CSIR-JUNE 2019]
(a)$\mathrm{L = NO_2^- < NCS^- < OH^- < Cl^-}$
(b)$\mathrm{L = NO_2^- < Cl^- < NCS^- < OH^-}$
(d)$\mathrm{L = OH^- < NCS^- < Cl^- < NO_2^-}$
(c)$\mathrm{L = OH^- < Cl^- < NO_2^- < NCS^-}$
