Solution

The correct option is C +5, +7, -1 , 0.
Cosider the oxidation number of iodine as x. We know the charges on oxygen and potassium atoms are 2 and +1 respectively. The oxidation states of the compounds of iodine are calculated as follows:

IO3x+3(2)=1x=+5

IO4x+4(2)=1x=+7

KI+1+x=0x=1

I20x=0
