Put these in increasing order:F, N, B
A
B < N < F
B
B < F < N
C
N < F < B
D
F < N < B
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The increasing order of electronegativity of halogens is; I < Br < Cl < F .

Detailed explanation-2: -Electronegativity decreases in a group on going from top to bottom. Therefore increasing electronegativity order is I < Br < Cl < F.

Detailed explanation-3: -Electronegativity values increase in period 2 in the order C < N < O < F. Electronegativity values decrease from top to bottom within a group of elements. We will often use these periodic trends to interpret the chemical and physical properties of organic compounds.
