The correct answer is:
$\begin{aligned} & 3 \mathrm{Cl}_2(g)+6 \mathrm{OH}^{-}(a q) \longrightarrow \mathrm{ClO}_3^{-}(a q)+5 \mathrm{Cl}^{-}(a q) \\ & +3 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(l) \\ & \end{aligned}$
A reaction in which the same species is simultaneously oxidised as well as reduced is called a disproportionation reaction.
