Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Hydrogen peroxide is a highly reactive substance, and it can react with light or heat to produce water. To prevent the reaction with light and heat, it  is stored in coloured bottles. So the light doesn't pass through it. It has a strong reactivity. Storing the hydrogen peroxide is highly unstable, and it slowly starts decomposing. As a result, hydrogen peroxide is kept in coloured or opaque bottles, which do not allow light to penetrate through it.
