Solution

The correct option is C $C a^{2 +}, C l^{-}$ and $O C l^{-}$ ions
Bleaching powder is the chemical compound with the formula $C a O C l_{2}$ . Its structural formula shows the presence of $C a^{+} 2$ , $C l^{-}$ and $O C l^{-}$ ions.

$C a O C l_{2} ⟶ C a^{2 +} + C l^{-} + O C l^{-}$

So, option C is correct.
