The bond dissociation energy of B–F in `BF_​3` is 646 kJ `mol^(–1)` whereas that of C-F in `CF​_4` is 515 kJ `mol^(–1)`. The correct reason for higher B-F bond dissociation energy as compared to that of C-F is:-
A. Significant `ppi-ppi` interaction between B and F in `BF_​3` whereas there is no possibility of such interaction between C and F in `CF_​4`​.
B. Lower degree of `ppi-ppi` interaction between B and F in `BF_3` than that between C and F in `CF_4`
C. Smaller size of B atom as compared to that of C atom
D. Stronger bond between B and F in `BF_3` as compared to that between C and F in CF
