Solution

The correct option is A $F_{2}$
$F_{2}$ is the strongest oxidizing agent.
The strength of oxidizing agent in halogen series decreases as we move down the group. Fluorine shows maximum strength because of its high electronegativity.

Which is a better oxidizing agent cl2 or f2

The correct order of the oxidizing power of Cl₂, Br₂, I₂ and O₂ is:

I_{2}, {B r}_{2}, {C l}_{2}, F_{2}

I_{2} < {B r}_{2} < {C l}_{2} < F_{2}

F_{2} > C l_{2} > B r_{2} > I_{2}

F_{2} > C l_{2} > B r_{2} > I_{2}
