Solution

(N/A) $H_{2}O_{2}$ (hydrogen peroxide) acts as a strong oxidizing agent in both acidic and basic media.
It releases nascent oxygen $([O])$ which oxidizes the colored matter (chromophores) present in the substance.
This oxidation breaks the chemical bonds of the chromophores,rendering them colorless.
Consequently,the material appears white.
