Solution

The correct option is B -1, + 5
$C l_{2} + 2 N o O H (c o n c) h o t \to N a - 1 C l + N a {+ 5 C l O}_{3}$
In $N a C l$ the oxidation state of Na is +1 thus oxidation state of chlorine is -1.
In $N a C l O_{3}$ the oxidation state of Na is +1 and that of oxygen is -2. Thus oxidation state of Cl will be +5.
