ans 1> (b)
ans 2> (b) .......take the total change in oxidation number of the oxidized part !

First one is correct .
for second ,
3 As2S3 + 4 H2O + 10 HNO3 + 18 NaNO3 → 9 Na2SO4 + 6 H3AsO4 + 28 NO
if we compare the above equation with your given equation then,
a =10
b=3
x=6
y=28
z=9
so,
now you can solve the problem .
I think this is not a single option correct problem.
check it , whether i am right !!!!!!

Yeah, i gave the same answers, but they went negative [138]
Anyways, the answers given were.......(d) for both...

Q.1) Any explanation for why it is not H+ ?

Smaller the cation, greater is degree of hydration. Is that what you mean aieeee? isliye H+ ka sabse zyaada hydration enthalpy hona chaiye...
Lithium has highest hydration enthalpy within alkali metals. Maybe a proton should have greater h energy, as it is the smallest cation.

right. one more point :
Also , H+ forms coordinate bond with H2O , forming H3O+ ; which is a tronger bond than the hydrogen bonded Li+

well for (1) (d) is correct..
ethalpy of hydration is max. for Al3+... cant think of any reason though
found this and this

FOR H+ .. in the above link,
hydration enthalpy = -1130 kJ

Googling helps a bit more here....
"The hydration enthalpy increases with increasing charge on the ion, whereas it decreases with increasing size of the ion."
Infact, Hhydration = - Ze2/ 2r*{1-1/d}
(Z=ionic charge, r=radius, d=dielectric const. of medium)
So v shud be able to use it like, whichever has a higher Z/r ratio shud have a more -ve value of Hyd. enthalpy.
