Explanation:
Disproportionation reaction is defined as a type of reaction in which same substance gets oxidized as well as reduced. This is a type of redox reaction.
Oxidation reaction means a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state is increased in this process.
Reduction reaction is a type of reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state gets reduced in this process.
undergoes disproportionation reaction and the equation for the same follows:
Here, is getting reduced to
and
is getting oxidized to

Answer:
Since, +2 oxidation state is more stable as compared to +3 oxidation state due to stable half filled electronic configuration, therefore Mn(III) disproportionates to Mn(II).
