Detailed Solution

I. H2O2 undergoes oxidation to O2 and also undergoes reduction to give H2O (-1 oxidation state to 0 and -2)

II. S2- undergoes only oxidation either to S, SO, or SO42- in which oxidation number changes from -2 to 0, +4, or +6 

III. SO2 (oxidation number of S is +4) can undergo oxidation and reduction. S is having highest oxidation state of +6. The element in a molecule having its oxidation state in the middle (i.e., > minimum and ( maximum) can be used as oxidant and as reductant both 

IV. HNO2, (oxidation number of N is +3). Highest oxidation state of N is +5. So it can undergo both oxidant and reductant
