Solution

The correct option is A $K M n O_{4}$ $&$ $K C l$
The given redox reaction is
$(+ 7) 2 K M n O_{4} + (- 1) 10 K C l + 8 H_{2} S O_{4} \to (+ 2) 2 M n S O_{4} + 6 K_{2} S O_{4} + 8 H_{2} O + (0) C l_{2} .$
$Reduction half reaction$
A species which gains electron in a redox reaction is called as oxidising agent/oxidant.
$(+ 7) 2 K M n O_{4} (oxidant) \to (+ 2) 2 M n S O_{4}$ .
Here $K M n O_{4}$ is gaining electron so it is an oxidant.

$Oxidation half reaction$
A species which looses electron in a redox reaction is called as reducing agent/reductant.
$(- 1) 10 K C l (reductant) \to (0) 5 C l_{2}$ .
Here KCl is losing reagent so it is a reductant.
