Solution

The correct option is B $M n S O_{4}$
In the oxidation of oxalic acid by potassium permanganate, in the presence of dil. $H_{2} S O_{4}$ one of the products $M n S O_{4}$ acts as an autocatalyst.
$2 K M n O_{4} + 5 H_{2} C_{2} O_{4} + 3 H_{2} S O_{4} \to 2 M n S O_{4} + K_{2} S O_{4} + 10 C O_{2} + 8 H_{2} O$
