The correct answer is: 3MnO42-+4H+2MnO4-+MnO2+2H2O

Disproportionation reaction, also sometimes called dismutation reaction, is basically 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.

3MnO42-+6+4H+2MnO4-+7+MnO2+4+2H2O
