Solution

The correct option is A $G e F_{2} > S i F_{2} > C F_{2}$
Inert pair effect is the non participation of $n s$ electrons of heavier elements of groups 13 to 15. As we move down the group, due to inert pair effect lower oxidation state i.e $+ 2$ becomes more stable. Hence stability order for difluoride is $G e F_{2} > S i F_{2} > C F_{2}$ .
