Detailed Solution

Concentrated sulfuric acid isn't a strong enough oxidizing agent to oxidize fluoride or chloride ions.

The sulfuric acid is converted to sulfur dioxide gas by the bromide ions. This results in a drop in the sulfur's oxidation state from +6 in sulfuric acid to +4 in sulfur dioxide.

H2SO4+2H++2BrBr2+SO2+2H2O

The hydrogen sulfide is likely the most significant reduction product in this group. Its formation's half-equation is as follows:

H2SO4+8H++8I4I2+H2S+4H2O

There are 3 halide ions which changes their oxidation number on heating with  MnO2+ conc. H2SO4.
