Correct answer

A. 2NaOCl+H2O2→2NaCl+H2O+O22NaOCl + {H}_{2}{O}_{2} \to 2NaCl + {H}_{2}O + {O}_{2}

Step-by-step solution

H _ 2 O _ 2 acts as a reducing agent in

Here, the H2O2{H}_{2}{O}_{2} act as the reducing agent, as the ClCl has +1 oxidation state of in NaOClNaOCl and after reaction with the H2O2{H}_{2}{O}_{2}, in the presence of the acid, it reduces the ClCl in NaOClNaOCl to Cl−{Cl}^{-} having -1 oxidation state.

So, as ClCl oxidation state decreases from the +1 to -1 oxidation state, hence the H2O2{H}_{2}{O}_{2} is acting as the reducing agent.
