begin{array}{l} A)2Kmathop {Cl}limits^{ + 5} mathop {{O_3}}limits^{ - 2} to 2Kmathop {Cl}limits^{ - 1} + 3mathop {{O_2}}limits^0 \ C)2Kmathop {Mn}limits^{ + 7} mathop {{O_4}}limits^{ - 2} to {K_2}mathop {Mn}limits^{ + 6} {O_4} + mathop {Mn}limits^{ + 4} {O_2} + mathop {{O_2}}limits^0 \ D)2mathop {Hg}limits^{ + 2} mathop Olimits^{ - 2} to 2mathop {Hg}limits^0 + mathop {{O_2}}limits^0 end{array}

In all these reactions , in the same molecule , one atom undergoes oxidation

and the other atom undergoes reduction

These are Intramolecular redox reactions

B)2{H_2}mathop {{O_2}}limits^{ - 1} to 2{H_2}mathop Olimits^{ - 2} + mathop {{O_2}}limits^0

In this reaction same element (oxygen) undergoes both oxidation & reduction

This is a disproportion reaction
