(B) For an octahedral complex of the type $Mabcdef$,where all six ligands are different,the number of geometrical isomers is $15$.Each geometrical isomer is chiral (except in cases of symmetry which do not exist here),meaning each geometrical isomer exists as a pair of enantiomers.Therefore,the total number of stereoisomers is $15 \times 2 = 30$.
