Solution

The correct option is A Caro's acid.

Peroxymonosulfuric acid, also known as persulfuric acid, peroxysulfuric acid, or Caro's acid, is a liquid at room temperature. In this acid, the S(VI) center adopts its characteristic tetrahedral geometry; the connectivity is indicated by the formula HO-O-S(O)2-OH. It is one of the strongest oxidants known and is highly explosive.
So Caro's acid is having peroxy linkage
Hence option D is correct.
