Solution

The correct option is A IO3
When I is oxidised by MnO4 in alkaline medium, I converts into IO3. The reaction occurs as follows.

2KMnO4+2KOH2K2MnO4+H2O+[O]

2K2MnO4+2H2O2MnO2+4KOH+2[O]–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

2KMnO4+H2OAlkaline−−−−2MnO2+2KOH+3[O]

KI+3[O]KIO3

i.e. IO3ion.
