Answer:

C. more BiCl3 will be produced

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering the Le Chatelier's principle regarding to the addition of a product, for this situation, HCl (hydrochloric acid), it is said the such addition will shift the reaction leftwards, it means, to the reactants bismuth (III) chloride and water, in order to reattain equilibrium, therefore the answer related with the aforementioned explanation is C. more BiCl3 will be produced. Moreover, more water will be also produced.

Best regards.
