Solution

The correct option is B

H2O2 acts as a reducing agent in both the reactions


Answer: (b)

In the first reaction, I is reduced from 0 to -1 oxidation state.

In the second reaction, Cl is reduced from +1 to -1 oxidation state.

Hence, in both the reactions, H2O2 acts as a reducing agent.
