Correct Answer

(B) I, III

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In reaction I and III, dichromate acts as an oxidising reagent. (I) \(\mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7^{2-}+6 \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}+14 \mathrm{H}^{+} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cr}^{3+}+6 \mathrm{Fe}^{3+}+7 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\) In the above reaction, \(\mathrm{Cr}^{6+}\) reduced to…
