Step-by-Step Solution

A disproportionation reaction is one where the same element is simultaneously oxidized and reduced. (a) Cu+Cu^+ (+1+1) goes to Cu2+Cu^{2+} (+2+2, oxidation) and Cu0Cu^0 (00, reduction). (b) MnMn in MnO42MnO_4^{2-} (+6+6) goes to MnO4MnO_4^- (+7+7, oxidation) and MnO2MnO_2 (+4+4, reduction). (c) KMnO4KMnO_4 decomposition is not disproportionation. (d) MnMn in MnO4MnO_4^- (+7+7) and Mn2+Mn^{2+} (+2+2) both go to MnO2MnO_2 (+4+4), which is comproportionation.
