Solution

The correct option is B $P b S + 4 H_{2} O_{2} \to P b S O_{4} + 4 H_{2} O$
Writing oxidation numbers of all the atoms,
$+ 2 - 2 P b S + + 1 - 1 H_{2} O_{2} \to + 2 + 6 - 2 P b S O_{4} + + 1 - 2 H_{2} O$
The oxidation number of $S$ has increased and $O$ has decreased.
$- 2 P b S \to + 6 P b S O_{4}$ ...(i)
$- 1 H_{2} O_{2} \to - 2 H_{2} O$ ...(ii)
Increase in oxidation number of $S$ = $8 u n i t s p e r P b S m o l e c u l e$
Decrease in oxidation number of $O = 1 u n i t p e r \frac{1}{2} H_{2} O_{2} m o l e c u l e$
$= 2 u n i t s p e r H_{2} O_{2} m o l e c u l e$
Multiplying eq. (ii) by $4$ as to make increase and decrease equal.
$P b S + 4 H_{2} O_{2} \to P b S O_{4} + 4 H_{2} O$
