The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The reaction of MnO4- in an alkaline medium with I- produces IO3- as the product.
2MnO4- + H2O + I- → 2MnO2 + 2OH- + IO3-
Thus, the oxidation of I- in the presence of MnO4- under alkaline conditions leads to the formation of IO3-.
So, the correct answer is : Option (4)
