As we have learnt,

Ferrous oxalate consists of Fe^{2+} and C_2O_4^{2-}ions. Both act as reducing agents and decolorise acidifed KMnO4 solution. The reactions occur as follows:

\\\mathrm{2MnO_{4}^{-}\: +\: 16H^{+}\: +\: 10Fe^{2+}\: \rightarrow \: 10Fe^{3+}\: +\: 2Mn^{2+}\: +\: 8H_{2}O}\\\\\mathrm{2MnO_{4}^{-}\: +\: 16H^{+}\: +\: 5C_{2}O_{4}^{2-}\: \rightarrow \: 2Mn^{2+}\: +\: 10CO_{2}\: +\: 8H_{2}O}

Therefore, Option(1) is correct.
