Cl2(g) -------> Cl-(aq) + ClO-(aq)
2e- + Cl2(g) -------> 2Cl-(aq) [reduction]
4OH-(aq) + Cl2(g) -----------> 2ClO-(aq) + 2H2O(l) + 2e- [oxidation]

2OH-(aq) + Cl2(g) --------> Cl-(aq) + ClO-(aq) + H2O(l)
Answer:
here you go
Explanation:
Halogens are very electronegative. This means that inductively they are electron withdrawing. However, because of their ability to donate a lone pair of electrons in resonance forms, they are activators and ortho/para directing. Electron withdrawing groups are meta directors and they are deactivators.
I believe the answer is C.
