Correct Answer - D
Complete hydrolysis of `XeF_(4)` give `Xe` and `XeO_(3)` while partial hydrolysis give `XeOF_(2)`.
`6XeF_(4) + 12H_(2)O rarr 4Xe + 2XeO_(3) + 24HF + 3O_(2) XeF_(4) + H_(2)O rarr XeOF_(2) + 2HF`
Since Xe does not appear as one of the products of hydrolyses option is incorrect and option D is correct.
