The correct option is
C both an oxidising and a reducing agent
Hydrogen peroxide
H2O2 can act as an oxidising agent as well as a reducing agent. Examples:

When
H2O2 reacts with
HI,H2O2 oxidises
HI to
I2 and itself gets reduced to
H2O. Thus, in the above reaction ,
H2O2 is acting as an oxidising agent.

When
H2O2 reacts with
HOCl,H2O2 reduces
HOCl to
Cl− and itself gets oxidised to
O2. Thus, in the above reaction ,
H2O2 is acting as a reducing agent.
Hence, option (C) is correct.
