Solution

The correct options are
A Sodium sulphite
C Potassium bromide
Chlorine oxidises sulphites to sulphates in their aqueous solutions.
$N a_{2} S O_{3} + C l_{2} + H_{2} O \to N a_{2} S O_{4} + 2 H C l$
Sodium sulphate Sodium Sulphite
Potassium bromide is oxisided with chlorine.
$2 K B r + C l_{2} \to 2 K C l + B r_{2}$
