Solution

The correct option is B (ii) < (i) < (iv) < (iii)
The strength of $H - b o n d$ depends on the following factors:
(i) Electronegativity of element covalently bonded to a hydrogen atom.
(ii) Size of the electronegative element.
(iii) Ease of donation of lone pair of electrons by electronegative element.
Electronegativity order $: F > O > S$
Hence, the order is $(i i) < (i) < (i v) < (i i i) .$
