Detailed Solution

For hydrogen peroxide, 100 g of sample contains 5.93 g of hydrogen, thus the amount of oxygen in hydrogen peroxide will be 100-5.93=94.07 g.

The ratio of mass of oxygen to the hydrogen in the given sample of hydrogen peroxide is given as:

94.075.93=15.86

Similarly, for water, 100 g of sample contains 11.2 g of hydrogen and the amount of oxygen in water will be 100-11.2=88.8 g

The ratio of mass of oxygen to the hydrogen in the given sample of water is:

88.811.2=7.93

Thus, the two ratios are in the proportion 15.867.93=2:1

Therefore, the given data illustrates the law of multiple proportions.

Hence option (B) is correct.
