The correct answer is: FeSO4

MnO4-Mn2+ ; Change in oxidation no. = 5
In option,
i. Fe2+ Fe3+
Change in oxidation no. = 1
ii. Fe2+ Fe3+
Change in oxidation no. = 1
SO32-SO42-
Change in oxidation no. = 2
=1+2=3
iii. Fe2+ Fe3+
Change in oxidation no. = 1
C2O42-2CO2
Change in oxidation no. = 2
=1+2=3
iv. Fe2+ Fe3+
Change in oxidation no. = 1
2NO2-2NO3-
Change in oxidation no. = 4
=1+4=5
