Solution

The correct option is D $H B r O$
$+ 1 H B r O \to 0 B r_{2}, E_{\frac{H B r O}{B r_{2}}}^{0} = 1.595 V$
$+ 1 H B r O \to + 5 B r O_{3}^{-}, E_{\frac{B r O_{3}^{-}}{H B r O}}^{0} = 1.5 V$
$E_{c e l l}^{0}$ for the disproportionation of $H B r O$ .
$E_{c e l l}^{0} = E_{\frac{H B r O}{B r_{2}}}^{0} - E_{\frac{B r O_{3}^{-}}{H B r O}}^{0}$
=1.595 -1.5
=0.095 V = +ve
