If product is oxy acid with $-ous$ suffix

(B) The reaction is: $\underline{I}Cl_3 + 2H_2O \longrightarrow HIO_2 + 3HCl$.In the product $HIO_2$,the oxidation state of iodine is $+3$.Iodine in $+3$ oxidation state forms iodous acid,which is named with the $-ous$ suffix.Therefore,the product is an oxy acid with an $-ous$ suffix.
