Solution

The correct option is D 2CuSO4+4KICu2I2+2K2SO4+I2
The reaction in which change in oxidation numbers of some of the atoms takes place is termed as a redox reaction.
(a) +2 +6 2CuSO4+3 +14NH3+2 3 1 +6 2[Cu(NH3)4]SO4
No change in oxidation number of any of the atoms.
(b) +1 +6 2Na2SO4++2 1BaCl2+2 +6 2BaSO4++1 12NaCl
No Change in oxidation number of any of the atoms.
(c)+4 2SO2++1 2H2O+1 +4 2H2SO3
No change in oxidation number of any of the atoms.
(d) +2 +6 22CuSO4++1 14KI+1 1Cu2I2++1 +6 22K2SO4+0I2
Oxidation number of Cu decreases from +2 to +1 and oxidation number of iodine increases from 1 to 0.
Thus, out of the above four reactions, the reaction (d) is a redox reaction.
