Aqueous $\mathrm{Cr}^{2+}$ effects one electron reduction of $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{5} \mathrm{Cl}\right]^{2+}$ giving compound Y. Compound Y undergoes rapid hydrolysis. Y is,
(a)$\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{5}\right]^{2+}$
(b)$\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{5}(\mathrm{OH})\right]^{+}$
(c)$\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{4}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}\right]$
(d)$\left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{5} \mathrm{Cl}\right]^{2+}$
