Solution
The correct option is CNa2S2O3.5H2O
An antichlor is a substance used to decompose residual hypochlorite or chlorine after chlorine-based bleaching in order to prevent ongoing reactions with the material that has been bleached.
Na2S2O3⋅5H2O is a strong oxidising agent so it is used for the removal of Cl2 after bleaching of cloth.
