Solution

The correct option is C PbSO4
The redox equation is as follows:
PbS+4H2O2PbSO4+4H2O
PbSO4 is white in color.
The above reaction is used to clean black spots formed on old paintings. The black spots are of lead sulphide which is naturally formed over a long time due to the reaction between lead present in old oil paints and sulphur present in the air.
