Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
From electrochemical series it can be seen that,
as reduction potential (E0Cl2/Clθ)>E0Br2/Brθ or E0aveI2/Iθ so it higher tendency to reduce and it can oxidise bromide and iodide ions so
Cl2+Brθ2Clθ+Br2
Cl2+Iθ2Clθ+I2
