As we have learnt,

\mathrm{H_2O_2} is produced by treating Barium Peroxide with \mathrm{H_2SO_4}

\mathrm{BaO_{2}\cdot 8H_{2}O+H_{2}SO_{4}\rightarrow BaSO_{4}+8H_{2}O+H_{2}O_{2}}

Hydrated Barium Peroxide is used as \mathrm{BaSO_4} form a protective layer on barium peroxide and slows the reaction. 

The excess water is removed by evaporation under reduced pressure.

Therefore, option(3) is correct.
