37. While $\mathrm { Fe } ^ { 3 + }$ is stable, $\mathrm { Mn } ^ { 3 + }$ is not stable in acid solution because
(A) $\mathrm { O } _ { 2 }$ oxidises $\mathrm { Mn } ^ { 2 + }$ to $\mathrm { Mn } ^ { 3 + }$
(B) $\mathrm { O } _ { 2 }$ oxidises both $\mathrm { Mn } ^ { 2 + }$ to $\mathrm { Mn } ^ { 3 + }$ and $\mathrm { Fe } ^ { 2 + }$ to $\mathrm { Fe } ^ { 3 + }$
(C) $\mathrm { Fe } ^ { 3 + }$ oxidises $\mathrm { H } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O }$ to $\mathrm { O } _ { 2 }$
