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+6MnO2−4+4H+→2+7MnO−4++4MnO2+2H2O
Other two reactions are not disproportionation reaction. They are comproportionation reactions.
Thus, option (c) is correct.
