D.

disinfecting water

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (B) preparing bread.

Explanation:
Bleaching powder (Ca(OCl)₂) is a chemical compound commonly used for various purposes, but it is not used in preparing bread.
Here’s how it’s used in other applications:
  • Oxidising chemicals: Bleaching powder is a strong oxidizing agent, so it can be used for this purpose.
  • Bleaching cotton: It is used in the textile industry for bleaching cotton and other fabrics.
  • Disinfecting water: Bleaching powder is widely used to disinfect drinking water by killing bacteria and harmful microorganisms.
However, bleaching powder is not used in preparing bread as it is not a food-grade substance and is not suitable for consumption.
