Answer:

It is reduced

Step-by-step explanation:

Reduction is the process of gaining electrons in a chemical reaction, just like electron affinity and electronegativity.

In the reaction above, the chlorate ion is added or reacted with iodide ion (electron) hence chlorate ion reduced to chloride ion and iodine.
