The metal d-orbitals that are directly facing the ligands in ${K_3[Co(CN)_6]}$ are :

$d_{xz}, d_{yz}$ and $d_{z^2}$

$d_{xy}, d_{xz}$ and $d_{yz}$

$d_{xy}$ and $d_{x^2-y^2}$

$d_{x^2-y^2}$ and $d_{z^2}$

Answer

$d_{x^2-y^2}$ and $d_{z^2}$

Explanation

$K_{3}\left[Co\left(CN\right)_{6}\right]$ $Co^{+3} \to \left[Ar\right]_{18} 3d^{6}$
