haloform

a.If you were carrying out an industrial scale sythesis in which one step involved a haloform reaction to convert a methyl ketone into the corresponding acid having one less carbon atom, would you use NaOH and Cl2, NaOH & Br2, or NaOH and I2 reagent?  Give reasons.
b.  Write a balanced equation for the conversion of C6H5CHOHCH3 to methyl ketone in the presence of I2 and NaOH.  Identify which is being oxidized and which is being reduced.
