Disproportionation occurs when element undergoes simultaneous oxidation and reduction.
Stable oxidation states resist such behavior.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

ClO$_2$ has chlorine in +4 oxidation state, which is a stable state and hence does not undergo disproportionation. Other species like ClO$^-$ and ClO$_3^-$ involve unstable oxidation states and do undergo such reactions.
