Identify $A, B, C$ and $D$ in the reactions:
$(I)$ $x Cl_2 + y NaOH \longrightarrow A + B + H_2 O_{(l)}$ (Cold,dil.)
$(II)$ $x Cl_2 + y NaOH \longrightarrow C + D + H_2 O_{(l)}$ (Hot,conc.)

The correct statement$(s)$ about the oxoacids,$HClO_4$ and $HClO$,is(are):
$[A]$ $HClO_4$ is more acidic than $HClO$ because of the resonance stabilization of its anion.
$[B]$ $HClO_4$ is formed in the reaction between $Cl_2$ and $H_2O$.
$[C]$ The central atom in both $HClO_4$ and $HClO$ is $sp^3$ hybridized.
$[D]$ The conjugate base of $HClO_4$ is a weaker base than $H_2O$.

Why is $ICl$ more reactive than $I_2$?
