Solution

The correct option is D ${C l O}_{4}^{-}$
Among the oxoanions of chlorine listed above, $C l O_{4}^{-}$ does not disproportionate because in this oxoanion chlorine is present in its highest oxidation state that is, +7. The disproportionation reactions for the other three oxoanions of chlorine is:

$3 C l O^{-} \to 2 C l^{-} + C l O_{3}^{-}$

$6 C l O_{2} \to 2 C l^{-} + 4 C l O_{3}$

$4 C l O_{3}^{-} \to C l^{-} + 3 C l O_{4}^{-}$
