Solution

The correct option is A If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
H2O2 has boiling point of about 150oC
and boiling point of water is 100oC
This difference in their boiling point can be attributed by variation in strength of intermolecular forces. As hydrogen peroxide has greater polarizability, stronger London dispersion force, and greater dipole moment as compared to water. Hydrogen peroxide exhibits hydrogen bonding more as compared to water which greatly impacts on its boiling point.
H2O2 is more extensively associated by hydrogen bonding than water.
