Bond strength depends upon the extent of overlap.  As the size difference increases, the bond energy or the bond strength decreases as the overlap becomes less effective.

Thus, as the size of halogen increases, the C-X bond energy decreases.

Therefore, the correct order is 

CH_{3}-F> CH_{3}-Cl> CH_{3}-Br> CH_{3}-I

The correct answer is option 2.
