An aqueous solution of $FeSO_4$ gives tests for both $Fe^{2+}$ and $SO_4^{2-}$ ions,but after the addition of an excess of $KCN$,the solution ceases to give a test for $Fe^{2+}$. This is due to the formation of:

  • A
    the double salt $FeSO_4 \cdot 2KCN \cdot 6H_2O$
  • B
    $Fe(CN)_3$
  • C
    the complex ion $[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}$
  • D
    the complex ion $[Fe(CN)_6]^{3-}$
