Solution

The correct option is D Fluorine
Fluorine is the most reactive non-metal because it is the most electronegative of all of the non-metal elements of the periodic table. Due to its strong electro negativity & small size, Fluorine has a strong tendency to accept electrons from other atoms or ions. As a result it oxidises all other substances.
