Solution

The correct option is A ${M n}^{2 +} + 2 C l O_{3}^{-} ⟶ M n O_{2} + 2 C l O_{2}$
The unbalanced redox equation is as follows:
${M n}^{2 +} + C l O_{3}^{-} ⟶ M n O_{2} + C l O_{2}$
All atoms other than H and O are balanced.
The oxidation number of Mn changes from 2 to 4. The change in the oxidation number is 2.
The oxidation number of Cl changes from 5 to 4. The change in he oxidation number is 1.
To balance the increase in the oxidation number with decrease in the oxidation number multiply $C l O_{3}^{-}$ and $C l O_{2}$ with 2.

${M n}^{2 +} + 2 C l O_{3}^{-} ⟶ M n O_{2} + 2 C l O_{2}$
This is the balanced chemical equation.
