Multiple Choice

What is the reduction half reaction for the following chemical reaction in a basic solution?
Mn²⁺(aq) + 2 ClO₃^-(aq) + OH^-(aq) → MnO₂(s) + 2 ClO₂(aq) + H₂O(l)

• A)Mn²⁺(aq)+ 4 OH^-(aq)→ MnO₂(s)+ 2 H₂O(l)+ 2e^-
• B)Mn²⁺(aq)+ 2 H₂O(l)→ MnO₂(s)+ 4 H⁺(aq)+ 2e^-
• C)ClO₃^-(aq)+ H₂O(l)+ e^- → ClO₂(aq)+ 2 OH^-(aq)
• D)ClO₃^-(aq)+ 2 H⁺(aq)+ e^- → ClO₂(aq)+ H₂O(l)
