Solution

The correct option is D $H C l$ and $H O C l$
Chlorine water on standing loses its colour and forms $H C l$ and $H O C l$ .

$C l_{2} + H_{2} O \to H C l + H O C l$

This is a disproportionation reaction.

The hypochlorous acid so formed gives nascent oxygen which is responsible for oxidizing and bleaching properties of chlorine.

Hence, option $D$ is correct.
