Answer: option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Fluorine belongs to 7A group it should have 7 valency electrons in outer shell which is observed in option A.

But all options have 7 electrons in total. But we know that F has 3 unpaired and one odd electron separately which is coincide with option A hence it is the correct answer.
