Determining the Number of Geometric Isomers

The Lewis structure \(\mathrm {:C} \equiv \mathrm {O:}\) indicates that the CO molecule has two lone pairs of electrons. When CO binds to a transition-metal atom, it nearly always does so by using the C lone pair. How many geometric isomers are there for tetracarbonyldichloroiron(II)?

Which of the following molecules does not have a geometric isomer?
