Solution

The correct option is A HClO4
In HClO3, the oxidation state of Cl is +5.
The oxidation state of hydrogen = +1,
The oxidation state of oxygen = -2
Let oxidation state of chlorine is x,
In HClO4,1+x+4(2)=0, x = + 7
In HClO3,1+x+3(2)=0, x = + 5
In HClO2,1+x+2(2)=0, x = +3
In HCl, 1+x =0, x = -1
In HClO4 , it has +5 oxidation state.
