Solution

The correct options are
A alcohol
B glycerine
The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is retarded in the presence of glycerine and alcohol. To prevent decomposition, hydrogen peroxide is stored in paraffin wax-coated plastic or teflon bottles. A small amount of acid, glycerol, alcohol, acetamide and phosphoric acid are often used as stabilizers to check the decomposition.
