    D)   reduces sulphuric acid

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\overset{+7}{\mathop{2KMn{{O}_{4}}}}\,+3{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+5{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}\] \[{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+\overset{+2}{\mathop{2MnS{{O}_{4}}}}\,+8{{H}_{2}}O+5{{O}_{2}}\] \[\therefore \]\[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\]is acting as reducing agent it reduces\[KMn{{O}_{4}}\]to\[M{{n}^{2+}}\].
