Answer:
(d)+7
The oxidation state which is also known as oxidation number describes the degree of oxidation i.e., loss of electrons of an atom in a chemical compound. Conceptually, the oxidation state is a hypothetical charge that an atom would have if all the bonds of an atom of different elements are ionic and with no covalent character. It may have a value that can be positive, negative, or zero.
The maximum oxidation state of chlorine can be +7 due to the presence of vacant d orbitals.
Other oxidation states of Cl are −1,+1,+3, and +5.
