Solution

The correct option is C $C l_{2}$ with cold and dil. $N a O H$
Chlorine with cold and dilute sodium hydroxide give mixture of chloride salt, hypochlorite and water.

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

Chlorine with hot and dilute sodium hydroxide give mixture of chloride salt, hypochlorite and water.

$3 C l_{2} (l) + 6 N a O H (a q) \to 5 N a C l + N a C l O_{3} (a q) + 3 H_{2} O (l)$

Hence, the correct option is $C$
