Dear student,
 
With an increase in size, the bond dissociation enthalpy decreases. Fluorine has exceptionally low bond dissociation enthalpy because of the high electronegativity but higher than iodine.
 

 
So the  increasing order of bond dissociation enthalpies is Cl2​>Br2​>F2​>I2​ 
 
So the correct answer is 0.
