Detailed Solution

The Van-Arkel process is used to purify titanium because when Ti combines with I2, it forms volatile TiI4, which decomposes at 1673 K to produce pure  Ti.

For ultrapure metals like TiZr,etc., the Van-Arkel process is utilized. Leaving behind the impurities, the metal is transformed into its volatile stable compound, such as TiI4, which is then dissolved to provide the pure metal. 

The reaction response is listed below:

Ti+2I2500kTiI41675kTi+2I2

Hence the correct option is A
