Assertion (A): `H_(2)O_(2)` acts only as an oxidising agnet.
`H_(2)O_(2)rarrH_(2)O+O`
Reason (R ): All peroxides behave as oxidising agnets only.

Options

A. If both `(A)` and `(R )` are correct and `(R )` is the correct explanation of `(A)`.
B. If both `(A)` and `(R )` are correct but `(R )` is not the correct explanation of `(A)`.
C. If `(A)` is correct but `(R )` is incorrect.
D. If both `(A)` and `(R )` are incorrect.

Explanation

To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason about hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and peroxides, we will analyze both statements step by step.

### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion (A)
The assertion states that "H₂O₂ acts only as an oxidizing agent."

- **Explanation**: Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) can act as both an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent depending on the reaction conditions. In some reactions, it can oxidize other substances (by gaining electrons), while in others, it can reduce other substances (by losing electrons).
