Correct answer: A

  1. Use the known hydrolysis patterns of interhalogen compounds

    In interhalogen compounds, the more electronegative halogen usually forms the hydrogen halide on hydrolysis, while the central/less electronegative atom forms an oxyacid or oxyanion.

  2. Hydrolysis of IClIClICl

    The hydrolysis reaction is: ICl+H2O→HOI+HClICl + H_2O \rightarrow HOI + HClICl+H2​O→HOI+HCl

    The oxy-species formed is hypoiodous acid, whose anion is: HOI↔H++IO−HOI \leftrightarrow H^+ + IO^-HOI↔H++IO−

    So, complete hydrolysis of IClIClICl gives IO−IO^-IO−.

  3. Hydrolysis of ClF3ClF_3ClF3​

    Complete hydrolysis of chlorine trifluoride is: ClF3+2H2O→HClO2+3HFClF_3 + 2H_2O \rightarrow HClO_2 + 3HFClF3​+2H2​O→HClO2​+3HF

    The oxyacid formed is chlorous acid, whose anion is: HClO2↔H++ClO2−HClO_2 \leftrightarrow H^+ + ClO_2^-HClO2​↔H++ClO2−​

    So, complete hydrolysis of ClF3ClF_3ClF3​ gives ClO2−ClO_2^-ClO2−​.

  4. Hydrolysis of BrF5BrF_5BrF5​

    Complete hydrolysis of bromine pentafluoride is: BrF5+3H2O→HBrO3+5HFBrF_5 + 3H_2O \rightarrow HBrO_3 + 5HFBrF5​+3H2​O→HBrO3​+5HF

    The oxyacid formed is bromic acid, whose anion is: HBrO3↔H++BrO3−HBrO_3 \leftrightarrow H^+ + BrO_3^-HBrO3​↔H++BrO3−​

    So, complete hydrolysis of BrF5BrF_5BrF5​ gives BrO3−BrO_3^-BrO3−​.

  5. Match with options

    Thus, respectively, the products are: IO−,ClO2−,BrO3−IO^-,\quad ClO_2^-,\quad BrO_3^-IO−,ClO2−​,BrO3−​

    This matches Option A.

  6. Compare with stored correct answer

    Stored correct answer: A
    Derived answer: A

    Hence, they agree.
