The answer is (3) HClO. In the Cl2, chlorine has an oxidation number of zero. In HCl, the oxidation number is -1. In HClO2, the oxidation number is +3. In HClO, it is +1. You can calculate this by using O with oxidation number of -2 and H with +1.
Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone who is more informed on this than I am, but wouldn't it be because of the magnetic fields and whatnot? The longer I think on it, the more I feel like I'm wrong, so don't take my word for it 100%

Balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
Mg(OH)₂ + 2HCl ---> MgCl₂ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of Mg(OH)₂ to MgCl₂ is 1:1
mass of Mg(OH)₂ reacted - 1.82 g
number of moles of Mg(OH)₂ - 1.82 g/ 58.3 g/mol = 0.0312 mol
number of Mg(OH)₂ moles reacted - number of MgCl₂ moles formed
number of MgCl₂ moles formed - 0.0312 mol
mass of MgCl₂ formed - 0.0312 mol x 95.2 g/mol = 2.97 g
mass of MgCl₂ formed - 2.97 g
