Options:
  • A $\mathrm{KOH}, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2$
  • B $\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{O}_2, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2$
  • C $\mathrm{KOH}, \mathrm{O}_2$
  • D $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2, \mathrm{O}_2$

The correct answer is: $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2, \mathrm{O}_2$
(i) When $\mathrm{KO}_2$ reacts with water, it gives $(A)$,
$(B)$ and $(C)$ as follows:


(ii) When $(B)$, i.e. $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2$ reacts with iodine in basic medium, it gives $(C)$, i.e. $\mathrm{O}_2$, as shown below :

$\because \mathrm{KOH}$ can not reduce $\mathrm{I}_2$, thus option (d) is the correct answer.
