Solution

The correct option is A Oxidising agent

The oxalic acid acts as a reducing agent, and the KMnO4 acts as an oxidizing agent, KMnO4 acts as an indicator of where the permanganate ions are a deep purple colour. In this redox titration, MnO4is reduced to colourless manganous ions (Mn2+) in the acidic medium.
