Solution

The correct options are
A P4+OHH2PO4+PH3
B S2O23SO24+S
D H2O2H2O+O2
Auto redox reaction is the reaction in which same substance itself undergoes both oxidation as well reduction.
1.P is oxidised from 0 to +5 and reduced from 0 to -3 so this is an auto redox reaction.
2.S is oxidised from +2 to +6 and reduced from +2 to 0 so this is an auto redox reaction.
3.O is oxidised from -1 to 0 and reduced from -1 to -2 so this is an auto redox reaction.
4.Oxidation state of Ag does not change during reaction so this is not auto redox reaction.
