Solution

The correct option is A $C l_{2} O$
Bleaching powder is Ca(OCl)Cl. Therefore, the oxoacid whose salt is present in bleaching powder is HOCl.
Anhydride of HOCl is $C l_{2} O$ as
$2 H O C l \to C l_{2} O + H_{2} O$

Note: The oxidation number of element in anhydride and oxoacid remains the same.
