Option A is correct;

A.) The atoms are arranged differently in each molecule

Explanation:

Water and hydrogen peroxide are made of the same elements: oxygen and hydrogen. However, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has 1 more oxygen than water (H2O).

Hydrogen peroxide is very unstable and breaks down readily into water and a single oxygen molecule.

And also the arrangement of atoms is different in each molecule.
