What is meant by primary standards

Dear student, Primary Standard: A primary standard is a reagent which is very pure, representative of the number of moles the substance contains and easily weighed. Primary standards are typically used in titrations and other analysis techniques as standardization solutions. Examples of primary standards used in redox titrations include pure iron, NaC2O4 (sodium oxalate), As2O3(arsenic trioxide), K2Cr2O7(potassium dichromate), KBrO3(potassium bromate), KIO3(potassium iodate) and KH(IO3 ) 2 (potassium hydrogen iodate). Option (3 ) is correct. Regards,

Examples of primary standards used in redox titrations include pure iron, NaC2​O4​ (sodium oxalate), As2​O3​ (arsenic trioxide), K2​Cr2​O7​ (potassium dichromate), KBrO3​ (potassium bromate), KIO3​ (potassium iodate) and KH(IO3​)2​ (potassium hydrogen iodate).

So, option (B) is correct.
