3,4 as the 1st option can never be correct because I – can never be reduced to Iodine it will be oxidised as the oxidation state of Iodine is zero.so that leaves us with only the 4th option this was a shortcut way but if you solve them Iodate has Iodide in +5 oxidation state so it will be reduced to Iodine which is correct then in KI Iodide is in -1 state which is absolutely correct and then it forms Iodine gas where oxidation state is 0 and thus correct.:)
