Elemental Carbon. It will reduce Manganese Dioxide to Manganese, and will oxidize self to Carbon monoxide.
Carbon dioxide is the reducing agent.

Nitric acid is used in Gmelin's test to detect the presence of manganese in a sample. The reaction involves the formation of a green precipitate of manganese dioxide, which indicates the presence of manganese.
Manganese dioxide (MnO2) stains on glassware can be easily removed by rinsing with an oxalic acid solution because oxalic acid reacts with MnO2 to form soluble manganese oxalate which can be washed away with water, leaving the glassware clean. Oxalic acid works as a chelating agent, helping to dissolve and remove the manganese dioxide stain effectively.
yes
Acidified potassium permanganate can be used as a reducing agent by reacting with the oxidizing agent. The permanganate ion is reduced to manganese dioxide, manganese(II), or other manganese species, while the other species in the reaction is oxidized. The reaction is carried out in acidic conditions to prevent the decomposition of permanganate.
Carbon dioxide is the reducing agent.
Sulfur dioxide gas is known to decolorize potassium permanganate because it is a reducing agent that converts permanganate (purple) to colorless manganese(IV) oxide.
Sulfur dioxide can act both as an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent. As an oxidizing agent, sulfur dioxide can be reduced to sulfur or sulfite ions. As a reducing agent, sulfur dioxide can be oxidized to sulfur trioxide or sulfuric acid.

Nitrogen is neither an oxidizing agent nor a reducing agent in its elemental form. However, in some compounds like nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitrogen can act as an oxidizing agent.
As there is no oxygen in the compound (GeCl2), it would be a reducing agent (especially in HCl).
Yes, MnO2 is the chemical formula for manganese (IV) oxide, also known as manganese dioxide. It is a black or brown solid commonly used as an oxidizing agent and in the production of dry-cell batteries.

The catalytic reduction of sulfur dioxide with methane can convert SO2 to sulfur.
The carbon atom in carbon dioxide has an oxidation state of 4+ (It's missing 4 electrons.) The carbon atom in carbon monoxide has an oxidation state of 2+ (It's only missing two electrons.) A reducing agent is something that will give electrons to another substance. Carbon dioxide has less electrons to give than carbon monoxide, making it not as good of a reducing agent.
