$\left[\mathrm{Ru}\left(2,2^{\prime} \text { - bipyridyl }\right)_{3}\right]^{+}$, when it absorbs at 452 nm , is a very good oxidizing as well as reducing agent due to the formation of
(a)$\left[\mathrm{Ru}^{\mathrm{I}}\left(2,2^{\prime} \text {-bipyridyl }\right)_{3}\right]^{+}$
(b)$\left[\mathrm{Ru}^{\mathrm{I}}\left(2,2^{\prime}-\text { bipyridyl }\right)_{2}\left(2,2^{\prime} \text { bipyridyl }^{+}\right)\right]^{2+}$
(c)$\left[\mathrm{Ru}^{\text {III }}\left(2,2^{\prime} \text {-bipyridyl }\right)_{3}\right]^{3+}$
(d)$\left[\mathrm{Ru}^{\text {III }}\left(2,2^{\prime} \text { - bipyridyl }\right)_{2}\left(2,2^{\prime} \text { - bipyridyl }\right)\right]^{2+}$
