Solution

The correct option is A Bond angle
Effective overlap between orbitals decrease due to large size of p orbital of halides. Hence electron deficiency of boron atom in its halides follow the trend BF3<BCl3<BBr3<BI3BF3<BCl3<BBr3<BI3
and so it is lewis acidity order. The correct order of bond angle will be BI3>BBr3>BCl3>BF3
