Correct Answer: CaOCl₂

Solution : The correct answer is CaOCl₂.

Bleaching powder is typically produced by the reaction of calcium Hydroxide [Ca(OH)₂] with chlorine gas (Cl₂). The chemical reaction is as follows:

Ca(OH)₂ + Cl₂ → Ca(ClO)₂ + H₂O

In this reaction, Calcium Hydroxide reacts with Chlorine gas to form calcium Hypochlorite and water. Calcium Hypochlorite, or bleaching powder, has the chemical formula Ca (ClO)₂.
