Fluorine is known to be a stronger oxidizing agent than chlorine. Which of the following thermodynamic factors is the primary reason for this behavior?

(a)

The F–F bond has a low bond dissociation enthalpy.

(b)

The fluoride ion (F⁻) has a high hydration enthalpy in aqueous solution.

(c) The electron gain enthalpy of fluorine is less negative than that of chlorine.
(d) Fluorine has a very small atomic size.

Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given :
1. (a) and (b) only 2. (a) and (c) only
3. (a) and (d) only 4. (b) and (c) only

In the light of the below statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Statement I: Acid strength increases in the order given as HF < HCl < HBr < HI.
Statement II: As the size of the elements F, Cl, Br, I increases down the group, the bond strength of HF, HCI, HBr, and HI decreases and so the acid strength increases.
 
1. Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect
2. Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct.
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
4. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
