Solution
The correct option is BR−I>R−Br>R−Cl>R−F F, Cl, Br, I belong to the same group orderly. Atomic radii go on increasing as the nuclear charge increases in proceeding downwards in a group.
The decreasing order of bond length C−I>C−Br>C−Cl>C−F
The order of bond dissociation energy R−F>R−Cl>R−Br>R−I.
During dehydrohalogenation C−I bond breaks more easily than C−F bond.
