Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

The nucleophilicity ofF-is higher in case of DMSO (Polar aprotic solvent) as there is no hydrogen bonding in such solvents.
HereF-is a better nucleophile in polar protic solvents where its nucleophilicity decreases due to hydrogen bonding.
In polar aprotic solvents, the order of nucleophilicity is reversed:
F->Cl->Br->I-
