Correct option is A)
Oxidation and reduction are two types of chemical reactions that often work together. Oxidation and reduction reactions involve an exchange of electrons between reactants.
Reduction and oxidation occur simultaneously in a type of chemical reaction called a reduction-oxidation or redox reaction.
Oxidation Involves Loss of electrons
Reduction Involves Gain of electrons.
As we can see the above case with the chlorine .
hence chlorine is both oxidised and reduced
