Solution

The correct option is D All of the above are correct.
The complete reaction sequence is as follows:
FeCr2O4+Na2CO3+O2Fusion−−−Na2+VICrO4H+H2ONa2+VICr2O7H+/H2O2−−−−−+VICrO(O2)2 (deep blue violet) H2OO2+H2O+Cr3+

Hence, we can see that in all the three compounds, Na2CrO4 [X], Na2Cr2O7 [Y] and CrO(O)2 [Z], chromium is in the +6 oxidation state.

Also, CrO(O)2 is a deep blue-violet coloured compound which decomposes rapidly in aqueous solution into Cr3+ and dioxygen.

Besides, saturated solution of Cr2O27 gives bright orange compound, chromic anhydride with concentrated H2SO4.
Na2Cr2O7+H2SO42CrO3 (chromic anhydride) +Na2SO4+H2O
Hence, all statements are correct.
