The correct option is A 32.6%
In sulphuric acid (H2SO4), the atomic mass of S is 32 u, atomic mass of H is 1 u, atomic mass of O is 16 u.

Total mass of H2SO4

= (2 x 1 u) + 32 u + (4 x 16 u)=98 u

Mass % of sulphur in H2SO4

= Mass of sulphur in sulphuric acid Total mass of sulphuric acid= 32 98 =32.65%
