Solution

The correct option is B All form monobasic oxyacids.
Fluorine shows only $1$ oxidation state and other halogen shows negative and positive oxidation state. Due to high electronegativity and small size only F form one oxoacid that is HOF.
Hence A is correct option because A is not true statement.
