Solution

The correct option is D $F_{2}$
Among halogens, fluorine is the strongest oxidizing agent because of its low bond dissociation energy and high hydration energy.

The correct order of the oxidizing power of Cl₂, Br₂, I₂ and O₂ is:

I_{2}, {B r}_{2}, {C l}_{2}, F_{2}

I_{2} < {B r}_{2} < {C l}_{2} < F_{2}
