Answer: c. +4

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.  

Mn:25:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{5}

Mn^{4+}:21:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^1

O:8:1s^22s^22p^4

O^{2-}:10:1s^22s^22p^6

Here manganese is having an oxidation state of +4 called as  cation and oxygen forms an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged to give Mn_2O_4 which written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral MnO_2

Kisachek [45]
<span>1.05 g/ml * 1000 ml = 1050g/l because of 1g/ml = 1 kg/l so, a/q mass of 4.7 l of whole blood in pound = 4.7 * 1050 = 4935 g so in pound 4935g = 10.87981p</span>
