Answer: $Br_2+2Cl^-\rightarrow Cl_2+2Br^-$

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

$Br_2+2Cl^-\rightarrow Cl_2+2Br^-$

On reactant side:

Oxidation state of chlorine = -1

On product side:

Oxidation state of chlorine = 0

The oxidation state of chlorine increases from -1 to 0. Thus, it is getting oxidized and it undergoes oxidation reaction.
