Affinity for hydrogen decreases in the group from fluorine to iodine. Which of the halogen acids should have the highest bond dissociation enthalpy?

The answer is the option (i).
On moving down the group, there is an increase in the atomic radii and a decrease in bond dissociation enthalpy. That is why; HF should have the highest bond dissociation enthalpy.
