Answer is C as due to interelectronic repusion and small size F has less negative electron gain enthalpy than Cl

Energy is released when an electron is added to the atom. Therefore, the electron gain enthalpy is negative. The electron gain enthalpy for halogens is highly negative because they can acquire the nearest stable noble gas configuration by accepting an extra electron. Btw the sequence is. F>cl>br>I Because...
