Solution

The correct option is B $C H C l_{3}$
When bleaching powder $(C a O C l_{2})$ is distilled with acetone and water, chloroform is obtained.
$C a O C l_{2} + H_{2} O \to C a (O H)_{2} + C l_{2}$
$C l_{2} + H_{2} O \to 2 H C l + [O]$
$C H_{3} C O C H_{3} + 3 C l_{2} \to C C l_{3} C O C H_{3} + 3 H C l$
Chlorine is an oxidizing agent, as well as a chlorinating agent.
$2 C C l_{3} C O C H_{3} + C a (O H)_{2} h y d r o l y s i s - ----- \to 2 C H C l_{3} + (C H_{3} C O O)_{2} C a$
