Solution

The correct options are
A heat of dissociation
B heat of hydration
D electron affinity
Fluorine is stronger oxidizing agent than chlorine in aqueous solutions. This can be attributed to the properties heat of dissociation, electron affinity and heat of hydration. Fluorine has low heat of dissociation and high heat of hydration which more than compensates the lower value of electron affinity.
