(C) In the complex $[Co(H_2O)(NH_3)_5]I_3$,the central metal ion is $Co^{3+}$.There are $5$ $NH_3$ ligands and $1$ $H_2O$ ligand attached to the central metal ion.All these ligands ($NH_3$ and $H_2O$) are monodentate,meaning each ligand provides only $1$ donor atom.Therefore,the total number of donor atoms is $5 	imes 1 + 1 	imes 1 = 6$.

What is the total number of donor atoms in $[Co(H_2O)(NH_3)_5]I_3$?
