Solution
The correct option is BMnO−4/H+ Fe2+ gives prussian blue colour with MnO−4/H+. They acts as an oxidising agent, converts ferrous to ferric ion. This ferric ion reacts with K4[Fe(CN)6] to form prussian blue colour of ferric ferro cyanide. MnO4/H+→[O];Fe2+→Fe3+ Fe3++K4[Fe(CN)6]→Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3+4K+
