Solution

The correct option is A $F_{2}$
An element which can readily accept an electron is a good oxidising agent. Halogens are good oxidising agents because they have strong tendency to accept an electron due to $(i)$ small atomic size, $(i i)$ high electronegativity and $(i i i)$ high electron affinity. Fluorine, being smallest, is best oxidising agent.
