If MnO2 was not added to this reaction, what effect would that have on the production of H2O and O2?

For the answer to the question above,
I am going to assume that MnO2 is a catalyst most likely breakdown of H2O2

H2O2----MnO2------> H2O + 1/2 O2


in that case, B) is answered in the trump suit

---
edit: I need to have a plate account to see - which I don't
is it something like


2H2O2 ---------------> 2H2O + O2
...............MnO2

where MnO2 is underneath the arrow, in that case, it means it is a catalyst and production will DRASTICALLY decrease in production
