  • A
    $FeSO_4$ acts as an oxidising agent and oxidises $KMnO_4$.
  • B
    $KMnO_4$ is an oxidising agent,it oxidises $FeSO_4$.
  • C
    The colour disappears due to dilution; no reaction is involved.
  • D
    $KMnO_4$ is an unstable compound and decomposes in presence of $FeSO_4$ to a colourless compound.
