The correct answer is: MnO4-+4H++3e-MnO2+2H2O

Disproportionation reaction, is a type of redox reaction involving simultaneous reduction and oxidation of atoms of the same element from one oxidation state (OS) to two different oxidation states.

2H2O2-12H2O-2+O20 : Disproportionation

2NO2+H2OHNO3+HNO2 : Disproportionation

MnO4-+4H++3e-MnO2+2H2O : reduction only

3MnO42-+4H+2MnO4-+MnO2+4+2H2O : Disproportionation
