A.emuisifier in the digestion of hydrogen peroxide

B.enzyme in the synthesis of hydrogen peroxide.

C.enzyme in the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide

D.indicator to detect hydrogen peroxide.

Solution

Enzyme catalase function as enzyme which breakdown the hydrogen peroxide thereby realese of oxygen. it prevent accumulation of Hydrogen peroxide.

Option c. is right answer
