Solution

The correct option is A Oxidation :12Cl2+6OHClO3+3H2O+5e ; Reduction :12Cl2+eCl
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of chlorine with NaOH is as follows:
3Cl2+6NaOH5NaCl+NaClO3+3H2O
The oxidation half reaction is :12Cl2+6OHClO3+3H2O+5e.
It represents the oxidation of chlorine to chlorate ions.
The reduction half reaction is :12Cl2+eCl.
It represents reduction of chlorine to chloride ion.
