Statement I, II and IV are correct, while the statement III is incorrect.
It's correct form is as follows :

F e + 2 S O_{4} - 2 + K Cl + 5 O_{3} ⟶ K Cl - 1 + F e_{2} + 3 (S O_{4})_{3}^{- 2}

The change in oxidation state of

F e = 3 - 2 = 1

$I$ and $III$

$II$ and $III$

$I, II$ and $I V$

All of these

Statement I, II and IV are correct, while the statement III is incorrect.
It's correct form is as follows :
$F e + 2 S O_{4} - 2 + K Cl + 5 O_{3} ⟶ K Cl - 1 + F e_{2} + 3 (S O_{4})_{3}^{- 2}$
The change in oxidation state of $F e = 3 - 2 = 1$
