Solution

The correct option is B $F > O > C l > N$
Considering the elements $F, C l, O$ and $N$ , the correct order of their chemical reactivity in terms of oxidizing property is $F > O > C l > N$ .
$N, O$ and $F$ are present in the same period. On moving from left to right in a period, the oxidizing power generally increases.
$F$ and $C l$ are present in the same group.
On moving from top to bottom in a group, the oxidizing power generally decreases.

Oxidizing property of O is more than Cl.
