Solution

The correct option is B 3
The unbalanced redox equation is
$C e^{4 +} + B i \to C e^{3 +} + B i O^{+}$
The oxidation number of Ce decreases from +4 to +3. The net decrease in the oxidation number is 1.
The oxidation number of Bi increases from 0 to +3. Net increases in the oxidation number is 3.
To balance increase in oxidation number with decrease in oxidation number, multiply the Ce species with 3.
$3 C e^{4 +} + B i \to 3 C e^{3 +} + B i O^{+}$
To balance O atoms, add one water molecule on left hand side.
$3 C e^{4 +} + B i + H_{2} O \to 3 C e^{3 +} + B i O^{+}$
To balance H atoms, add two protons on right hand side
$3 C e^{4 +} + B i + H_{2} O \to 3 C e^{3 +} + B i O^{+} + 2 H^{+}$
This is the fully balanced redox equation.
The coefficent before $C e^{4 +}$ is 3.
