The reaction will be most favourable if happens to be:

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

This is a Swarts-type reaction. For the reaction to be most favourable, the metal fluoride () should have lower lattice energy and more ionic character, which increases the reactivity of the fluoride ion. Down Group 1, as the size of the cation increases (), the lattice energy of the fluoride decreases. Rubidium fluoride () would be the most reactive among the given options.
