The formal oxidation number of sulphur in the given compound will be

$= \frac{(2 \times 5) + (2 \times 0)}{4} = 2.5$

Since in the structure, $S -$ atoms are not directly linked we get that oxidation state.

Hence option $A$ is correct.

The formal oxidation number of sulphur in the given compound will be=(2×5)+(2×0)4=2.5Since in the structure, S− atoms are not directly linked we get that oxidation state.Hence option A is correct.
