Which of the following halogens cannot form oxy acid(s) having multiple π bonds?

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Fluorine, due to its high electronegativity and small atomic size, cannot expand its octet. This prevents it from forming multiple bonds with oxygen, which are characteristic of oxyacids with higher oxidation states. Other halogens can expand their octet.
