Correct option is (C) \(H_2O_2\)

Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound having a molecular formula of \(H_2O_2\).

Here, the oxidation state of oxygen is -1.

As a result, it can effectively increase or even decrease its oxidation state accordingly.

Hence hydrogen peroxide acts as an oxidising and reducing agent both.
