Solution

The correct option is C disproportionation reaction
A disproportionation reaction is a redox reaction in which the same atom is oxidized in one molecule and reduced in another molecule.

The oxidation state of Cl changes from +1 in ClO to +3 in ClO2 and 1 in Cl respectively.

2ClO(aq)ClO2+Cl is an example of diproportionation reaction.

Hence, option C is correct.
