Solution

The correct option is B $X e F_{4}$
Let us recall the hydrolysis reactions can we?
$2 X e F_{2} (s) + 2 H_{2} O (l) \to 2 X e (g) + O_{2} (g) + 4 H F (l)$
The above reaction easily disqualifies option c and d.
$6 X e F_{4} (s) + 12 H_{2} O (l) \to 4 X e (g) + 3 O_{2} (g) + 2 X e O_{3} (s) + 24 H F (l)$
$X e F_{6} (S) + 3 H_{2} O (l) \to X e O_{3} (s) + 6 H F (l)$
Hydrolysis of $X e F_{6}$ is a multi-step process. Initially Xenon oxide tetrafluoride – $X e O F_{4}$ is formed.
$X e F_{6} (s) + H_{2} O (l) \to X e O F_{4} (l) + 2 H F (l)$
Followed by
$X e O F_{4} (l) + 2 H_{2} O (l) \to X e O_{3} (s) + 4 H F (l)$
