Solution

The correct option is A $S O_{3} F^{-}$
Bond length is basically the average distance between nucleus of $2$ bonded atoms in a molecule. The compound having shortest $S - O$ bond length is :
$S O_{3} F^{-}$ , as sulfur has $6$ valance electrons and $5$ of them are in bonding with oxygen and flourine is a strongly $E N$ atom.
So, it attracts the electrons towards it strongly and reduces the bond length.
