Yes B is the correct answer, because SO2 is reduced in the equation by lossing Oxygen. while H2S js being oxidized by losing Hydrogen. And if we can recall from OILRIG ( which stands for Oxidation is Lost and Reduction is Gain), we can conclude thst SO2, Sulphur (IV) Oxide is the Oxidizing Agent, because kt enduce Sulphur to oxidize by losing Hydrogen to form Water.
