Explanation

Statement A is true because fluorine is limited to an oxidation state of -1. However, statements B and C are false: fluorine does not follow the expanded octet rule, and it actually has the highest bond dissociation energy among halogens. Therefore, option D, which claims both B and C are wrong, is the correct choice.
