detailed solution

Correct option is B

The reaction between BaO2 and dilute H2SO4 is as follows:

BaO2+H2SO4BaSO4+H2O2

From the above reaction it is clear that the most electronegative element in the product is oxygen.

The oxidation state of oxygen in BaSO4 is -2 and in H2O2 is -1.

Hence the correct option is (B).
