Answer:

B. Litmus paper

Step-by-step explanation:

The test for chlorine can use either type of litmus paper, but blue litmus paper is used most commonly. The litmus paper must be damp - the water dissolves some of the chlorine so that it can react with the indicator on the litmus paper. This test shows that chlorine is a powerful bleach.
