Correct Answer: Water


Solution : The correct answer is water.

Hydrogen peroxide is a slightly acidic compound and it is an oxidizing agent. It is used as a bleaching agent and also in antiseptic solutions. Hydrogen peroxide on dissociation gives a water molecule and an active oxygen or nascent oxygen. This nascent oxygen is highly reactive which gives it the oxidising property.
