Correct answer
A6

Step-by-step explanation

[F e 2+ + C 2 O 4 2 F e 3+ +2C O 2 +3 e ]×2(oxidation)
C r 2 O 7 2 +14 H + +6 e 2C r 3+ +7 H 2 O(reduction)
_____________________________________________________

Cr2O72+2Fe 2++2C2O42+14H+2Cr3++2Fe3++4CO2+7H2O

Hence, total 6 electrons are involved in the net redox reaction to happen.
