Solution

The correct option is C Have low B.P. and high volatile
Interhalogen compounds are covalent in nature. More reactive than halogens because of low bond energy due to dissimilar size of atoms in molecule. As the molecule becomes a little polar the boiling point increases due to inter-molecular attraction. They are reactive and unstable because of low bond energy.
