Solution

The correct option is A $F_{2} < {C l}_{2} < B r_{2} < I_{2}$
The van der Waals forces in halogens increase in the order $F_{2} < {C l}_{2} < B r_{2} < I_{2}$ . This is the same order as that for the increase in the atomic size. Higher is the atomic size, higher will be the van der Waal's force.
