B

a reducing agent

C

both oxidising and reducing agnet

D

neither oxidising nor reducing agent.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`H_2O_2` can acts both oxidising and reducing agent. Oxidising nature of `H_2O_2` can be interpreted in account of the possession of labile oxygen atom.
`H_2O_2rarrH_2O+O`
Reducing behaviour is as
`H_2O_2+O rarrH_2O+O_2`
