Solution

The correct option is B

It acts as both oxidising and reducing agent


H2O2 is amphoteric in nature. It acts as both oxidizing and reducing agent depending on reactions. For example, when reacted with PbS, it acts as an oxidizing agent whereas it acts as a reducing agent when reacting with HOCl
