The Correct Option is B, D

Approach Solution - 1

Structures of Sulfuric Acid Derivatives 

1. Structure of \( \text{H}_2\text{S}_2\text{O}_7 \) (Pyrosulfuric Acid):

No peroxide linkage present.

2. Structure of \( \text{H}_2\text{S}_2\text{O}_8 \) (Peroxydisulfuric Acid):

Contains an \( -\text{O-O}- \) (peroxide) linkage.

3. Structure of \( \text{H}_2\text{S}_2\text{O}_5 \) (Pyro Sulfurous Acid):

No peroxide linkage present.

4. Structure of \( \text{H}_2\text{SO}_5 \) (Peroxomonosulfuric Acid):

Contains an \( -\text{O-O}- \) (peroxide) linkage.

Approach Solution -2

To solve the problem, identify which compound(s) contain a peroxide (–O–O–) linkage.

Analysis of compounds:

  • H2S2O7 (Disulfuric acid or pyrosulfuric acid):
    Contains bridging oxygen atoms but no peroxide (O–O) bond.
    No peroxide linkage.
  • H2S2O8 (Peroxydisulfuric acid):
    Contains an –O–O– (peroxide) linkage between the two sulfur atoms.
    Has peroxide linkage.
  • H2S2O5 (Hypodithionous acid):
    No peroxide linkage; structure contains S–S bond but no O–O bond.
    No peroxide linkage.
  • H2SO5 (Peroxymonosulfuric acid or Caro’s acid):
    Contains a peroxide (O–O) bond attached to sulfur.
    Has peroxide linkage.

Final Answer:
Compounds with peroxide linkage are:
\[ \boxed{\text{H}_2\text{S}_2\text{O}_8 \text{ and } \text{H}_2\text{SO}_5} \]
