Solution

The correct option is D disproportionation.
  1. Disproportionation is a specific type of redox reaction in which a species is simultaneously reduced and oxidised to form two different products.
    Here the ClO is simultaneously reduced and oxidised to form two different products.

    Hence option C is correct.
