Solution

The correct option is C KMnO4

Potassium Permanganate acts like a self indicator. In acidic medium KMnO4 gets itself converted into Mn2+ ion which is pink in colour. So, the appearance of pale permanent pink colour will indicate the end point of the titration.So it acts as indicator and titrant.

Hence option D is correct.
