Solution

The correct option is A. oxidation number of sulphur is +6 in all except IV

In structures, I, II, and III shown below, the S atom is attached to two oxygen atoms via double bonds and to the other two oxygen atoms via single bonds. Hence, the oxidation number of S in these compounds is +6. In compound IV, the oxidation number of two S atoms is +4.
Thus, statement A is correct.

Peroxy linkage is present in only III. Thus, options B and C are incorrect.
The oxidation number of S in I is +6 and in IV is +4 and 0.
Thus, option D is incorrect.
