Solution

The correct option is A Cl2, I2
Cl2 is below I2 in electrochemical series and thus replaces I2 from its solution.
2KI+Cl22KCl+I2
I possesses more tendencey to show +ve oxidation state. The tendency to become electropositive increases down the group.
2KClO3+I22KIO3+Cl2
Therefore, A and B are Cl2 and I2 respectively.
