Solution

The correct option is C Reducing in (i) and (ii)
In the reaction,
$(a) H_{2} O_{2} + {0 O}_{3} ⟶ H_{2} O + 2 O_{2}$
Since, $H_{2} O_{2}$ reduces $O_{3}$ into $O^{2 -}$ ion, thus it behaves as a reducing agent. Further, in the reaction,
$(b) H_{2} O_{2} + A g_{2} O ⟶ 2 A g + H_{2} O + O_{2}$
Here, $H_{2} O_{2}$ reduces $A g_{2} O$ into metallic silver $[A g]$ (as oxidation number is changing from +1 to 0). Thus, $H_{2} O_{2}$ behaves as a reducing agent.
Hence, option (c) is correct.
