Solution

The correct option is C The pH of the resultant solution becomes less than 6.0 and oxygen gas is liberated.
$H_{2} O_{2} \to H_{2} O + O_{2}$
$C l_{2} + H_{2} O + O_{2} \to 2 H C l + O_{2}$
____________________________
$C l_{2} + H_{2} O_{2} \to 2 H C l + O_{2}$
____________________________
Due to the formation of strong acid HCl, the pH of the solution will decrease along with the formation of $O_{2}$ gas.
