The correct options are BS2O2−8 CP2O4−8 DPO3−5 Peroxide is created by two oxygen atoms bonding together, by a single bond. Hydrogen peroxide is the most commonly known peroxide. It is an oxidizer. It is the simplest form of peroxide.
From the structures shown we can say that S2O2−8, P2O4−8 and PO3−5 are having peroxy linkages.
