After balancing the above equation, we get:
8AgS1U1P1 + 3S1S1P0 + 2CuF1 F1 F1 S1 → 10Ag + CuS1 U1 P12 + S1S1P0
The sum of the coefficients (including fractions) is 8 + 3 + 2 + 10 + 1 + 12 + 1 = 37, which is divisible by 2 and 4. However, since the reaction occurs in basic solution, we need to add OH- ions to balance the equation. This will increase the sum of the coefficients. Therefore, the correct answer is 6 (the sum of the coefficients after balancing and adding OH- ions).
