Dexter Adkins · Answer 1

Given that Oxygen has an oxidation state of 2 -, you can combine Mn 3 + with O 2 - ions to form Mn2O3, and you can combine Mn 2 + with O 2 - to form Mn2O2 which is MnO.

The other compounds imply oxidation states of N, Br and Cl that does not exist.

Therefore, the answer is the option D. MnO
