In the gas phase, the colours of the halogens very remarkably :
Fluorine - Pale yellow
Chlorine - Pale greenish-yellow
Bromine - Deep red-brown
Iodine - Deep violet
As one moves from F2 to I2, the difference between the two energy levels:
A
decreases and probability of transition increases

Solution
The correct option is A decreases and probability of transition increases As we move down the group, repulsion decreases.Because of the difference between the two energy levels decreases and probability of transition increases and colour become more dense.
