The correct answer is:
(i), (ii) and (iii)
In a reaction, the reagent, which is reduced or remove hydrogen from the other reactant (reagent), is termed as oxidising agent.
In a reaction, the reagent, which is reduced or remove hydrogen from the other reactant (reagent), is termed as oxidising agent.
Hence, in all of the above reactions, chlorine acts as an oxidising agent.
