The correct answer is: 2 CuBrCuBr2+Cu

Disproportionation reaction: In this type of reaction, same elemental species gets oxidised as well as reduced.

 Na+1Br-1+Cl202Na+1Cl-1+Br20-not disproportionate,

2KMn+7O4K2Mn+6O4+Mn+4O2+O2-not disproportionate,

2Mn+7O4-+10J-+16H+2Mn+2+SI2+8H2O-not disproportionate
 

-It is disproportionate.
