Solution

The correct option is B $F > O > C l > N$
In a groupoxidising power decreases from top to bottom. as the size increases but when we move from left to right in a period, it increases because site decreases. Therefore among $F, C l, O$ and $N,$ the oxidising power decreases in the order.
$F > O > C I > N$
Note oxygen is more electronegative than chlorine,
Hence, $O$ is stronger oxidising agent than $C l .$
