Solution

The correct option is D

Upward displacement of air


Pure and dry gases like chlorine, carbon dioxide, which are denser than air are collected by upward displacement because they have a tendency to escape in the upward direction and so can be easily collected. In the manufacturing process of chlorine, the gas is collected by upward displacement of air.
