Solution

The correct option is A Colour changes from orange to green

When SO2 gas is passed through potassium dichromate solution, the colour of potassium dichromate changes from orange to green (chromium sulphate). This is the potassium dichromate test for sulphuric acid.

2 K2Cr2O7 + 8H2SO4 → 2 K2SO4 + 2 Cr2(SO4)3 + 8 H2O + 3O2
