Solution

The correct option is B (a) and (b) only
Disproportionation reaction are the reactions in which the same element/compound get oxidized and reduced simultaneously.
Since, I and II reactions are as follows:
2Cu++2Cu2++0Cu
And
3+6MnO24+4H+2+7MnO4++4MnO2+2H2O
Other two reactions are not disproportionation reaction. They are comproportionation reactions.
Thus, option (c) is correct.
