Solution

The correct option is C O3+H2O22O2+H2O
In option (a), C6H6 is oxidised to C6H5OH which shows the oxidising action of H2O2
In option (b), O3 is reduced to O2 which shows the reducing action of H2O2
O3 is better oxidising agent then H2O2 so in the reaction B, H2O2 shows reducing behaviour.
In option (c), Fe2+ is oxidised to Fe3+ which shows the oxidising action of H2O2
In option (d), I is oxidised to I2 which shows the oxidising action of H2O2
