Solution

The correct option is C none of the above
Titration of Fe2+ with KMnO4 is an redox titration.
Fe2++7MnO4+14H+=Fe3++7Mn2++7H2O
violet colourless
So, phenolpthalein, methyl orange and litmus are all acid base indicators. They can't be used in this redox titration. KMnO4 is a self-indicator changing from violet to colourless.
Answer will be D.
