Solution

The correct option is A Fuse with KOH/ air, electrolytic oxidation
Reactions with fused KOH in the presence of water-
2MnO2+4KOH+O22K2MnO4+2H2O

The potassium manganate is then be converted into permanganate by electrolytic oxidation in alkaline media:

K2MnO4+H2O+KMnO4+KOH+1/2H2
Option A is correct.
