ANSWER

3HClO⇌2HCl+HClO3

It is a disproportionation reaction of hypochlorous acid where the oxidation number of chlorine from +1 to −1

Higher is Oxidation no. more is effective nuclear charge, lesser is size.

The disproportionation of hypochlorous acid gives HCl and HClO3.

Hence option D is correct.

Hope it helps you .
