Solution

The correct option is C Oxidising agent
In the given reaction concentrated sulphuric acid acts as an oxidizing agent. It oxidizes sulphur from 0 to +2 state. Sulphur dioxide is the product formed. It acts as the oxidising agent due to the fact that on thermal decomposition it yield nascent oxygen .
