The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The reaction of lead chromate with NaOH (in hot, excess conditions) results in the formation of a soluble dianionic complex:

PbCrO4 + NaOH (hot, excess) → [Pb(OH)4]2- + Na2CrO4

The product [Pb(OH)4]2- is a dianionic complex with a coordination number of four.
