Step-by-step explanation:

we know that,

From Left to right (Period) atomic radius decreases

and

From Top to bottom (Group) atomic radius increases.

Li, C, O, F belongs to same period.

So,

Atomic radius decreases if we go left to right

Increasing order of Atomic radius -

Li > C > O > F

Therefore,

Option C is correct ✔.
