Solution

The correct options are
A Cl2+OHCl+ClO3+H2O
C P4+NaOHPH3+NaH2PO2
D NO2NO+NO3
In option A, chlorine is oxidized as well as reduced. Hence, it is a disproportionation reaction.
In option B, phosphorus is oxidized as well as reduced. Hence, it is a disproportionation reaction.
In option C, nitrogen is oxidized as well as reduced. Hence, it is also a disproportionation reaction.
Option D is an example of comproportionation reaction. N atom is in two different oxidation states in reactants and is in same oxidation state in product.
