Solution

The correct option is C F2>Cl2>Br2>I2 ; Bond dissociation energy
The bond dissociation energies of I2, Br2 and Cl2 increase in the following order:
I2 < Br2 < Cl2

In case of F2, the bond dissociation energy is lower than that of Cl2 and Br2 because of the existence of strong inter-electronic repulsions owing to its small size. The overall trend of bond dissociation energies is thus as follows:
I2 < F2 < Br2 < Cl2
