Solution

The correct option is B turns deep blue-violet due to the formation of CrO(O2)2
When H2O2 is added to an acidified solution of K2Cr2O7, a deep blue-violet coloured compound CrO(O2)2 is formed. The reaction is as follows:
4H2O2+2H++Cr2O272CrO(O2)2Chromicdiperoxide(blue)+5H2O
Hence, option C is correct.
