Solution

The correct option is B $C l_{2} (g) + 2 O H^{-} (a q) \to O C l^{-} (a q) + C l^{-} (a q) + H_{2} O (l)$
$0 C l_{2} (g) + O H^{-} (a q) \to O + 1 C l^{-} (a q) + - 1 C l^{-} (a q)$

$n_{f} = (| O . S ._{P r o d u c t} - O . S ._{R e a c t a n t} |) \times number of atom$

$(n_{f})_{O C l^{-}} = | + 1 - 0 | \times 1 = 1$
$(n_{f})_{C l^{-}} = | - 1 - 0 | \times 1 = 1$

Cross multiplying with $n_{f}$ values.

$C l_{2} (g) \to 1 O C l^{-} (a q) + 1 C l^{-} (a q)$

Elements except $O$ and $H$ are already balanced.

Now, balancing oxygen by adding $H_{2} O$

$C l_{2} (g) + H_{2} O (l) \to O C l^{-} (a q) + C l^{-} (a q)$

Balancing hydrogen by adding $H^{+}$
$C l_{2} (g) + H_{2} O (l) \to O C l^{-} (a q) + C l^{-} (a q) + 2 H^{+} (a q)$

For balancing in basic medium adding $2 O H^{-}$ to both sides
$C l_{2} (g) + H_{2} O (l) + 2 O H^{-} (a q) \to O C l^{-} (a q) + C l^{-} (a q) + 2 H^{+} (a q) + 2 O H^{-} (a q)$

$C l_{2} (g) + H_{2} O (l) + 2 O H^{-} (a q) \to O C l^{-} (a q) + C l^{-} (a q) + 2 H_{2} O (l)$

Canceling $H_{2} O$
$C l_{2} (g) + 2 O H^{-} (a q) \to O C l^{-} (a q) + C l^{-} (a q) + H_{2} O (l)$

Balancing charge:

charge in reactant side $= - 2 = - 2$
charge in product side $= - 1 - 1 = - 2$

So the balanced equation is
$C l_{2} (g) + 2 O H^{-} (a q) \to O C l^{-} (a q) + C l^{-} (a q) + H_{2} O (l)$
