A.

In this compound, there is one oxygen atom and two chlorine atoms. The prefix for chlorine is di. Since oxygen comes las, it needs the prefix mono. The ending of the second atom must be dropped and the ending -ide must be added.

Thus, the compound name is dichlorine monoxide\textbf{dichlorine monoxide}.
