I think the correct answer would be the third option. The reason I2 has a higher melting point than F2 is because I2 possesses a more polarizable electron cloud. I2 contains more electrons than F2 which would result to a stronger intermolecular forces. Having stronger intermoleculer forces would mean more energy is needed to break the bonds so a higher melting point would be observed.
