Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Bond dissociation energy of fluorine is however, lower than chlorine and bromine due to its small size its inter electronic repulsion is very high

Bond dissociation energy of fluorine is 38 kcal/mol which is smaller than that of chlorine which is 57 kcal/mol.
Bond dissociation energy is in order I2<F2<Br2<Cl2
Thus, assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
