Detailed Solution

Potassium iodide and copper sulphate react to produce cuprous iodide and iodine.
2CuSO4+4KICu2I2+I2+2K2SO4;

CuI2 does not, therefore, result from this reaction.
As a result, option B is erroneous and option A is the proper choice.
To create sodium tetrathionate, sodium thiosulphate is titrated with the freed iodine.
2Na2S2O3+I2Na2S4O6+2NaI
Iodine is oxidised whereas sodium thiosulfate is decreased.
