Which of the following sets of examples and geometry of the compounds is not correct?

A

Octahedral - [Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺, [Fe(CN)₆]³⁻

B

Square planar - [Ni(CN)₄]²⁻, [Cu(NH₃)₄]²⁺

C

Tetrahedral - [Ni(CO)₄], [ZnCl₄]²⁻

D

Trigonal bipyramidal - [Fe(NH₃)₆]²⁺, [CuCl₄]²⁻

Option D

The geometry of [Fe(NH₃)₆]²⁺ is octahedral, not trigonal bipyramidal.
