The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Strong oxidizing agents are required to convert Mn(II) to Mn(VII) in \(KMnO_4\).

Step 1:
Identify oxidizing agent.

• \(K_2S_2O_8\) is a strong oxidizing agent
• It can oxidize Mn\(^{2+}\) to Mn\(^{7+}\)

Step 2:
Select correct option.
\[ K_2S_2O_8 \text{ is used in preparation of } KMnO_4 \]
