Detailed Solution

 We know that H2 and Cl2 both are atoms, and the ionization energy of chlorine is 1256 kJ/ mole and of hydrogen is 1311 kJ/ mole. Which is greater than chlorine, but hydrogen is small in size that's why H-H bond breaks easily and the Polar H2O molecule watered into and provides H+(aq), and chlorine is bigger in size that's why its ionization energy is less that's why chlorine does not form Cl+(aqueous) ion.

Hence, option(b) is the answer.
