Solution

The correct option is B Both statement I and statement II are true
(I) H2O2 act as oxidant:
H2O2+2e2OH(In basic medium)

H2O2 acts as reductant:-
H2O2+2OH2H2O+O2+2e(in basic medium)

(II) The basic principle of hydrogen economy is the transportation and storage of energy in the form of liquids or gaseous dihydrogen. Advantage of hydrogen economy is that energy is transmitted in the form of dihydrogen and not as electric power.

Hence, option (b) is correct.
