    The first answer is wrong because there are two As atoms on the left and only one on the right. The O, H, and Na atoms are unbalanced too.

    It should be: 2 As + 6 NaOH → 2 Na3AsO3 + 3 H2

    The third answer is wrong because there are four Cl atoms on the left and only one on the right. The H atoms are unbalanced too.

    It should be: TiCl4 + 2 H2O → TiO2 + 4 HCl

    The fourth answer is wrong because there are four Fe atoms on the left and only two on the right. The O atoms are unbalanced too.

    It should be: 4 FeS + 7 O2 → 2 Fe2O3 + 4 SO2

    The second answer is correct.
