Solution

The correct option is C Reduction
Chloroform is prepared in the laboratory by heating a mixture of bleaching powder $(C a C l_{2})$ with ethanol. In this reaction bleaching powder acts as an oxidising, chlorinating and hydrolysing agent.
$C H_{3} C H_{2} O H + [O] ⟶ C H_{3} C H O + H_{2} O ⟶$ Oxidation
$C H_{3} C H O + 3 C l_{2} ⟶ C C l_{3} C H O + 3 H C l ⟶$ Chlorination
$2 C C l_{3} C H O + C a {(O H)}_{2} ⟶ 2 C H C l_{3} + C a {(C O O H)}_{2} ⟶$ Hydrolysis
