Solution

The correct option is A Oxidation of potassium manganate is taking place
$2 K_{2} + 6 M n O_{4} + 0 C l_{2} \to 2 K - 1 C l + 2 K + 7 M n O_{4}$
$M n$ $\to$ Increase in oxidation number hence oxidation.
$C l_{2} \to$ Decrease in oxidation number hence reduction.
$C l_{2}$ is acting as an oxidising agent.
