The correct answer is:
$1.14 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{Ms}^{-1}$
Given $-\frac{d \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}}{d t}=4.56 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{Ms}^{-1}$
From the reaction given,
$\begin{aligned}
& -\frac{1}{2} \frac{\mathrm{dMnO}_4^{-}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\frac{4.56 \times 10^{-3}}{2} \mathrm{Ms}^{-1} \\
& -\frac{1}{2} \frac{d \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}}{d t}=\frac{1}{5} \frac{d \mathrm{I}_2}{d t} \\
& \therefore-\frac{5}{2} \frac{d \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}}{d t}=\frac{d \mathrm{I}_2}{d t}
\end{aligned}$
On substituting the given value
$\therefore \frac{d \mathrm{I}_2}{d t}=\frac{4.56 \times 10^{-3} \times 5}{2}=1.14 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{M} / \mathrm{s}$
