All interhalogens have weaker X-x2212-X-x2032- bonds and not X-x2212-X bonds but F is an exception due to high electronegativity and small size-xA0-Hence- option -A- is incorrect-

All interhalogens have weaker X−X′ bonds and not X−X bonds but F is an exception due to high electronegativity and small size. Hence, option (A) is incorrect.

All interhalogens have weaker $X - X^{'}$ bonds and not $X - X$ bonds but F is an exception due to high electronegativity and small size.

Hence, option (A) is incorrect.
