Donor mode of NO ligand depends on the metal. Now, consider the following complexes (in gaseous state).
\[ \begin{array}{l} \text{(A) } [\mathrm{IrCl(CO)(PPh_3)_2(NO)}]^{+} \\ \text{(B) } [\mathrm{RuCl(PPh_3)_2(NO)_2}]^{+} \\ \text{(C) } [\mathrm{Co(NCS)(diars)_2(NO)}]^{+} \text{, where diars} \rightarrow \text{o-}(\mathrm{Me_2As})_2\mathrm{C_6H_4}. \\ \text{(D) } [\mathrm{Cr(CN)_5(NO)}]^{3-} \end{array} \]
The complex(es) that do NOT exhibit bent NO coordination mode is/are
