The correct Answer is:

Chlorine gas was discovered by Scheele in `1774` by the action of `HCI` on `MnO_(2)`. Bethelot named this gas oxymuriatic acid gas since he throught it to be an oxide of muriatic acid (old name of `HCI`) in `1810`, Davy established its elementary nature and named it chlorine on account of its greensih yellow colour (Greek chloros `rArr` greenish yellow).
