In summary, the correct way to count chelate rings in [Co(EDTA)]- is to recognize that EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) acts as a hexadentate ligand, forming six bonds with the cobalt ion. As a result, there is one chelate ring formed in this complex, which includes all six coordination sites of EDTA interacting with the cobalt ion.
