A. Manganese dioxide

Show ExplanationHide Explanation

Explanation

Manganese dioxide, MnO₂, has historically been used to decolourise glass with a green tint caused by iron impurities. Its role in glass chemistry and colour compensation is distinct from simply making sodium permanganate. Silicon dioxide is the main network-forming oxide in common glass, rather than the intended decolourising additive.
