Solution

The correct option is C $A g_{2} O + H_{2} O_{2} \to 2 A g + H_{2} O + O_{2}$
$A g_{2} O + H_{2} O_{2} \to 2 A g + H_{2} O + O_{2}$

Here $A g$ is getting reduced from +1 to zero oxidation state, and $H_{2} O_{2}$ is oxidised to $O_{2}$ . Thus, here $H_{2} O_{2}$ acts as a reducing agent.
