Detailed Solution

\begin{array}{l} A)2K\mathop {Cl}\limits^{ + 5} \mathop {{O_3}}\limits^{ - 2} \to 2K\mathop {Cl}\limits^{ - 1} + 3\mathop {{O_2}}\limits^0 \\ C)2K\mathop {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)2\mathop {Hg}\limits^{ + 2} \mathop O\limits^{ - 2} \to 2\mathop {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 O\limits^{ - 2} + \mathop {{O_2}}\limits^0

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

This is a disproportion reaction
