    D)  \[B{{r}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Halogens are strong oxidising agents as they have small atomic size, high electronegativity and high electron affinity. Therefore, they have strong tendency to accept an electron. Fluorine is the strongest foxidising agent because its heat of hydration is greater.
