Which of the following reactions shows the behavior of $H_2SO_4$ as an oxidizing agent?

The strongest reducing agent among the given options is:

Assertion : Copper sulphate solution is not stored in zinc vessel.
Reason : Zinc forms complex with $CuSO_4$.

Consider the reactions:
$(a)$ $H_3PO_{2(aq)} + 4AgNO_{3(aq)} + 2H_2O_{(l)} \rightarrow H_3PO_{4(aq)} + 4Ag_{(s)} + 4HNO_{3(aq)}$
$(b)$ $H_3PO_{2(aq)} + 2CuSO_{4(aq)} + 2H_2O_{(l)} \rightarrow H_3PO_{4(aq)} + 2Cu_{(s)} + 2H_2SO_{4(aq)}$
$(c)$ $C_6H_5CHO_{(l)} + 2[Ag(NH_3)_2]^{+}_{(aq)} + 3OH^{-}_{(aq)}$ $\rightarrow C_6H_5COO^{-}_{(aq)} + 2Ag_{(s)} + 4NH_{3(aq)} + 2H_2O_{(l)}$
$(d)$ $C_6H_5CHO_{(l)} + 2Cu^{2+}_{(aq)} + 5OH^{-}_{(aq)} \rightarrow$ No change observed.
What inference do you draw about the behaviour of $Ag^{+}$ and $Cu^{2+}$ from these reactions?

Bromine is liberated when an aqueous solution of potassium bromide is treated with

Statement $I$: Sodium hydride can be used as an oxidising agent.
Statement $II$: The lone pair of electrons on nitrogen in pyridine makes it basic.
