Dear Sumukh

The oxidizing power of halogens decreases as the group is descended from Fluorine to Iodine. This is because a strong oxidizing agent attracts electrons strongly to itself and Fluorine is most able to do this because few electrons shielding the nucleus

Hence the order is F2 > Cl2 > Br2 > I2

hence option (a)

 

All the best.
