Solution

The correct option is D disproportionation.
Disproportionation is a specific type of redox reaction in which a species is simultaneously reduced and oxidised to form two different products.
Here the $C l O^{-}$ is simultaneously reduced and oxidised to form two different products.

Hence option C is correct.
