Solution

The correct option is B Peroxy linkage
Consider the oxidation state of S as 'x' in $H_{2} S O_{5}$
$∴ x + 5 \times (- 2) + 2 = 0$
$\Rightarrow x = + 8$
Thus calculated oxidation state of S = +8
Maximum oxidation of sulphur = number of valence electron = +6
$∵$ Oxidation state of S > maximum oxidation of sulphur
$∴$ Peroxy bond is present in $H_{2} S O_{5}$
