Solution

The correct option is D They are formed based on $X e / F_{2}$ ratio
Preparation of xenon fluorides:
Xenon forms three binary fluorides, namely $X e F_{2}, X e F_{4}, and X e F_{6}$ , by the direct reaction of elements under appropriate experimental conditions. The products formed depends on the $X e / F_{2}$ ratio.

Properties of xenon fluorides $(X e F_{2}, X e F_{4}, X e F_{6})$ :
1. Colourless crystalline solids
2. They are readily hydrolysed even by traces of water
3. powerful fluorinating agents
