Answer: The correct answer is option(C).

Step-by-step explanation:

The balanced chemical equation of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is given as:


2H_2O_2(aq)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)+O_2(g)

By stoichiometery of the reaction 2 moles of hydrogen peroxide on decomposition gives 2 mole of water and 1 mole of oxygen.

Hence,the correct answer is option(C).
