The Correct Option is B

Approach Solution - 1

Sodium thiosulphate, $Na_2S_2O_3$ gets oxidised by chlorine
water as $Na_2S2O_3 + 4Cl_2 + 5 H_2O \longrightarrow 2NaHSO_4 + 8HCl$
$FeCl_3 oxidises Na_2S_2O_3 to Na_2S_4O_6$

Approach Solution -2

Oxidation is the loss of electrons during a chemical reaction. The molecule that helps in the oxidation process is the oxidising agent and the molecule that gets oxidised acts as a reducing agent. 

When Na₂S₂O₃ reacts with Cl₂, it gets oxidised. The reaction for the same is as follows:

Na₂S₂O₃ +4Cl+ 5H₂O →2NaHSO₄ + 8HCl

P-Block Elements

  • P block elements are those in which the last electron enters any of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells. Since a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals each of which can accommodate two electrons, therefore in all there are six groups of p-block elements.
  • P block elements are shiny and usually a good conductor of electricity and heat as they have a tendency to lose an electron. You will find some amazing properties of elements in a P-block element like gallium. It’s a metal that can melt in the palm of your hand. Silicon is also one of the most important metalloids of the p-block group as it is an important component of glass.

P block elements consist of:
