Solution

The correct option is C $H_{2} O_{2} + 2 B r^{-} + 2 H^{+} \to 2 H_{2} O + B r_{2}$
An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron. Hence option C is correct in which $H_{2} O_{2}$ is reduced in water where as bromine ion is oxidised to $B r_{2}$ .
