Solution

The correct option is A By addition of F2
The reaction given is an exothermic reaction.
number of moles of products are less than the number of moles of reactants.
According to Le - chatalier's principle lowering of temperature, addition of F2 or Cl2 favours the forward reaction and hence the production of CIF3.
Increasing the volume of the container, the concentration of reactancts will decrease and the reaction will shift in backward direction.
