  1. Correct Answer – A
    `overset(0)(F)e+overset(+1)(H_(2))overset(-2)(O)rarr overset(+8//3)(Fe_(3))overset(-2)(O_(4))+overset(0)(H_(2))`
    Oxidation half-reaction
    `3overset(0)(F)e rarroverset(+8//3)(Fe_(3))O_(4)+8e^(-)`
    Reduction half-reaction
    `overset(+1)(H_(2))overset(-2)(O)+2e^(-) rarr overset(0)(H_(2))`
    `4H_(2)O+8e^(-) rarr 4H_(2)`
    Thus, eight electrons are transferred during the reaction
