Detailed Solution

For isoelectronic species, as the charge on anion increases, the ionic radius increases F-, O2- and N3- has 10 electrons each. Their ionic radii are in decreasing order, as follows:

 N3->O2->F-

Now, Anions have more ionic radii than corresponding neutral atoms thus anion N3- will have more ionic radii than covalent radii of N.

N3- is bigger than both O2- and F-.

Hence, the required option is C.
