Solution

The correct option is D $T e F_{6}$
$T e F_{6}$ is most readily hydrolysed.
$T e$ has large size and $F$ has small size. Also there is large electronegativity difference between $T e$ and $F$ .
Hence, $T e - F$ bond is weaker and the bond pair of electrons are more towards $F$ . Thus, $T e$ has more tendency for nucleophilic attack.
