Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(Fe^{2+}, Sn^{2+}, I^-, S^{2-}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(K_2Cr_2O_7\) in acidic medium acts as a strong oxidizing agent. It changes its colour from orange (\(Cr_2O_7^{2-}\)) to green (\(Cr^{3+}\)) when it reacts with a reducing agent. We need to identify the set in which all species can act as reducing agents (i.e., they can be…
