The correct answer is:

(B) Low dissociation energy of F - F

Fluorine is the most reactive among all the halogens primarily because of its low dissociation energy of the F-F bond. This means that it requires relatively little energy to break the bond between two fluorine atoms, allowing fluorine to readily form bonds with other elements and compounds. Additionally, its small size also contributes to its high reactivity, as it can more easily approach and react with other atoms.
