The correct answer is:

CHECK THE SOLUTION.

(c,d) SO 2 + PCl 5 ⎯→ SOCl 2 + POCl 3

No change in oxidation number of any element. So, not a redox reaction.

SOCl 2 is thionylchloride; SO 2 Cl 2 is sulphuryl chloride.

POCl 3 + H 2 O ⎯→ H 3 PO 4 + HCl

Both the products have sp 3 hybridisation of central atom.
