(B) The reducing character of halogens increases down the group from $F$ to $I$. Because $I_2$ has the strongest reducing property among the halogens,it can be easily oxidized by strong oxidizing agents like concentrated nitric acid $(HNO_3)$. The chemical reaction is: $I_2 + 10HNO_3 	o 2HIO_3 + 10NO_2 + 4H_2O$

Among the halogens,the one which is oxidised by nitric acid is
