    B and C

    Explanation:

    (A) AgNO₃ + NaCl → AgCl + NaNO₃

    This is a double displacement reaction. It is not a redox reaction because the elements have the same oxidation numbers on both sides.

    (B) Cl₂ + H₂O → HClO + HCl

    This is a redox reaction.

    Cl₂ is oxidized to HClO. The oxidation number of Cl increases from 0 to + 1.

    Cl₂ is reduced to HCl. The oxidation number of Cl decreases from 0 to - 1.

    (C) CuO + CO → CO₂ + Cu

    This is a redox reaction.

    CO is oxidized to CO₂. The oxidation number of C increases from + 2 to + 4.

    CuO is reduced to Cu. The oxidation number of Cu decreases from + 2 to 0.

    (D) NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H₂O

    This is a double displacement reaction. It is not a redox reaction because the elements have the same oxidation numbers on both sides.
