Solution
The correct option is BF As the atomic size of the Florine is less it has more nuclear charge. So it requires more energy to remove the electron from its outer most orbit. So Florine has high ionization enthalpy and as we move down the group size increases nuclear charge decreases hence Ionization potential.
