Solution
The correct option is A (i) and (iv) Basic strength of oxides decreases down the group due to larger radii of ions. As mass of halide increases, boiling point increases. So boiling point in correct order is NaF<NaCl<NaBr<NaI. Also stability of peroxides and carbonates decreases down the group.
