Solution

The correct option is C X=black, MnO2; Y=green,K2MnO4; Z=KMnO4
When black coloured manganese dioxide is fused with potassium carbonate in presence of air, green coloured potassium manganate is obtained.
2MnO2black, X+2K2CO3+O2heat2K2MnO4green, Y+2CO2
Chlorine oxidizes green coloured potassium manganate to pink coloured potassium permanganate.
