Answer : The only reaction (C) that shows that the same reactant undergoes both oxidation and reduction.

Explanation :

Disproportionation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the same reactant undergoes both oxidation and reduction reaction. It is a redox reaction.

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

(A) The given balanced reaction is,

$H_2SeO_4(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)+2H^+(aq)\rightarrow H_2SeO_3(aq)+Cl_2(g)+H_2O(l)$

This reaction is a redox reaction but not disproportionation reaction because in this reaction there are two reactants in which chlorine shows oxidation and selenium shows reduction.

(B) The given balanced reaction is,

$S_8(s)+8O_2(g)\rightarrow 8SO_2(g)$

This reaction is a redox reaction but not disproportionation reaction because in this reaction there are two reactants in which sulfur shows oxidation and oxygen shows reduction.

$3Br_2(aq)+6OH^-(aq)\rightarrow 5Br^-(aq)+BrO_3^-(aq)+3H_2O(l)$

This reaction is a disproportionation reaction because in this reaction only one reactant bromine that shows both oxidation and reduction reaction.

(D) The given balanced reaction is,

$Ca^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow CaSO_4(s)$

This reaction is a combination reaction in which the two reactant react to give a single product. There is no changes in the oxidation state of calcium and sulfate.

(E) The given balanced reaction is,

$PtCl_4(s)+2Cl^-(aq)\rightarrow PtCl_6^{2-}(aq)$

This reaction is a combination reaction in which the two reactant react to give a single product. There is no changes in the oxidation state of platinum and chlorine.

Hence, the only reaction (C) that shows that the same reactant undergoes both oxidation and reduction.
