Solution

The correct option is A $I_{2}$ $&$ $N a_{2} S_{2} O_{3}$
$_{2} + (+ 2) N a_{2} S_{2} O_{3} \to (+ 2.5) N a_{2} S_{4} O_{6} + (- 1) N a I .$
$_{2} (oxidant) \to (- 1) N a I (reduction half) .$
$(+ 2) N a_{2} S_{2} O_{3} (reductant) \to (2.5) N a_{2} S_{4} O_{6} (oxidation half) .$

A species which gain electron in a redox reaction is called as oxidising agent.
$(I_{2})$ gets converted into nitric oxide $(I^{-})$ . Iodine is getting reduced because it is gaining electrons, so $I_{2}$ is the oxidizing agent.

A species which looses electron in a redox reaction is called as reducing agent.
$N a_{2} S_{2} O_{3}$ gets converted to $N a_{2} S_{4} O_{6}$ $N a_{2} S_{2} O_{3}$ is getting oxidized since there is loss of electrons , so it is the reducing agent.

$I_{2}$ and $N a_{2} S_{2} O_{3}$ in this order is the correct answer.
