The answer to this question is B, Reacts with sunlight.

The 2 main properties of substances are their physical properties and chemical properties.
Physical properties are some observable/measurable characteristics, such as their color, mass, state, melting point, conductivity etc.

Meanwhile, for chemical properties, they're about how the substance reacts with other substances, such as metals react with acid to form hydrogen. And by the word "react", it means there's no way turn the reaction product back to the original substance without using chemical methods such as heating or electrolysis.

Therefore, all the choices above are physical properties of hydrogen peroxide except for B, as it is the only choice that relates to the substance reacting to another substance.
