The amount of oxalic acid present in a solution can be determined by its titration with $KMnO_4$ solution in the presence of $H_2SO_4$. The titration gives an unsatisfactory result when carried out in the presence of $HCl$,because $HCl$:

  • A
    gets oxidised by $KMnO_4$ to chlorine
  • B
    furnishes $H^{+}$ ions in addition to those from oxalic acid
  • C
    reduces permanganate to $Mn^{2+}$
  • D
    oxidises oxalic acid to carbon dioxide and water
