Detailed Solution

 For precipitation, Qsp (product of molar concentration) >Ksp (solubility product).

In water, CaF2 is in equilibrium with its ions as follows:

CaF2( s)Ca2+(aq)+2 F-(aq)

Solubility product of CaF2

Ksp=Ca2+F-2=1.7×10-10

In A), Qsp=10-4210-422=1.25×10-13

In B),Qsp=10-2210-322=1.25×10-9

In C), Qsp=10-5210-322=1.25×10-12

In D), Qsp=10-3210-522=1.25×10-14

Only for option B, the ionic product is greater than the solubility product.

Therefore, the correct option is (B).
