Solution

The correct option is D ClO4
Disproportionation is a specific type of redox reaction in which a species is simultaneously reduced and oxidised to form two different products.
Electronic configuration of Cl is 1s22s22p63s23p64s1
It can exhibit an max. oxidation state of +7.
In the given question, All species can exhibit disproportionation reaction which simultaneously oxidise as well as reduce.
In ClO4, this cannot undergo oxidation as +7 is max. oxidation state exhibited by chlorine.
