Answer:
The correct answer is option A.
Explanation:
Sodium hypochlorite is a strong oxidizing agent composed of 1 sodium , 1 oxygen and 1 chlorine atom.It bleaching action can be explained as due to release of nascent oxygen which oxidizes the stain and results in removal of stain from the fabrics.
So, we can say that hypochlorite ion oxidizes the stain on fabric.

1) The metal which reduces the other compound is the one higher in the reactivity. So in this case it is .
2) The substance which brings about reduction while itself getting oxidised (that is losing electrons) is called a reducing agent. Here, $\mathrm{Zn}$ is the reducing agent and reduces Cobalt Oxide to Cobalt while itself getting oxidised to Zinc oxide.
