best_answer

Cu^{2+} reacts with I^{-} to form precipitate of Cu_{2}I_{2}.

Cu^{2+} is reduced to Cu^{+} while Iodide ions are oxidised to Iodine as shown below

\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}+\mathrm{I}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}_{2} \mathrm{I}_{2}+\mathrm{I}_{2}

The I_{2} complexes with I^{-} to give tri iodide ions \left(I_{3}^{-}\right) which forms a reddish solution.

Hence, the correct answer is option (1).
