Solution

The correct option is A reducing agent, oxidising agent
$K I O_{4} + H_{2} O_{2} \to K I O_{3} + H_{2} O + O_{2}$
$N H_{2} O H + 3 H_{2} O_{2} \to H N O_{3} + 4 H_{2} O$ .
From this above reaction, we can easily figure out that hydrogen peroxide is acting as reducing and oxidising agent respectively.
