Option (A) is correct.
The titration gives unsatisfactory result when carried out in the presence of HCl, because HCl reduces permanganate to Mn2+.
KMnO4 can oxidise HCl (along with H2C2O4) into Cl2 and itself gets reduced to Mn2+.
Hence, the titration should be carried out in presence of sulphuric acid.
