Accepted Answer

Option D. Fluorine is the element among the options that does not exhibit a variable oxidation state, unlike its fellow halogens. This is because fluorine is the most electronegative element, and it always forms compounds in the oxidation state of -1 as it has a strong tendency to gain one electron to achieve a stable electronic configuration.
