detailed solution

Correct option is D

Enthalpy of dissociation decreases as the bond distance increases from F2 to I2 due to increase in size of the atom as we move down the group. Due to electron-electron repulsions between the lone pairs in small sized F atoms, the bond dissociation enthalpy of F2 is, however, smaller than that of Cl2 and even smaller than that of Br2Thus, the order of bond dissociation enthalpy is Cl2>Br2>F2>I2
