Solution

The correct option is A F<O<C<Cl<Br
Size increases on going down the group. Thus, size of Br>Cl>F. F,C and O are present in the same period.

Size decreases on going from left to right in a period.

Thus, the size of C>O>F. Size of Cl>C as Cl is present in 3rd period and C is present in 2nd period.

So, the correct order is : Br>Cl>C>O>F.

Hence, the correct option is A
