Solution

The correct option is D Iron
The metal in the metal salt solution is iron.
The pale green crystalline metal salt is ferrous sulphate. It dissolves freely in water. On standing it gives a brown ppt. of basic ferric sulphate Fe(OH)(SO4)
4FeSO4+2H2O+O24Fe(OH)(SO4)
The metal salt solution also gives a black ppt. on bubbling H2S in basic medium.
An aqueous solution of the metal salt decolourizes the pink colour of the permanganate solution.
2KMnO4+8H2SO4+10FeSO4K2SO4+2MnSO4+5Fe2(SO4)3+8H2O
