Solution
The correct option is BKMnO4 No indicator is used to determine the endpoint because KMnO4 itself acts as the indicator. Permanganate (MnO4−) ion has a dark purple color. In an acidic medium, MnO−4 is reduced to colourless manganous (Mn2+) ions.
At the end point, the addition of the single drop of permanganate imparts a light pink color to the solution.
