  • D
    6

Solution

The following compounds of sulphur, the oxidation state of sulphur atom is +6 as: H2S2O8, H2SO5, H2SO4, H2S2O7, SO2Cl2.

In cass of H2SO5, S bonded to four oxygen atom and shows +6 Oxidation state. Similarly, all above S shows +6 oxidation state.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
