An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya

$PbS$ + $4 H_{2} O_{2} \overset{}{\to} {PbSO}_{4} + 4 H_{2} O$

${Mn}^{+ 2} + 2 H^{+} + H_{2} O_{2} \overset{}{\to} {Mn}^{+ 4} + 2 H_{2} O$

$2 {MnO}_{4}^{-} + 5 H_{2} O_{2} + 6 H^{+} \overset{}{\to} 2 {Mn}^{+ 2} + 8 H_{2} O + 5 O_{2}$

$H_{2} O_{2} + 2 H^{+} + 2 I^{-} \overset{}{\to} I_{2} + 2 H_{2} O$

answer is C.
