The noble gases are chemically inert due...

The noble gases are chemically inert due to high ionization enthalpy, positive electron gains enthalpy and presence of completely filled orbitals. However, Xe forms a number of compounds such as `XePtF_(6) XeF_(2), XeF_(4), XeF_(6)` and a number of xenon oxides and oxy fluorides. Xenon fluorides react with fluoride ion acceptors such as `PF_(5), AsF_(5), SbF_(3)` etc. to form cationic species but with fluoride ion donors such as alkali metal fluorides they forms anionic fluoroanions. They are also hydrolysed by water but their reactivity increases with oxidation state of Xe.
The number of lone pairs and bond pairs of electrons around Xe in `XeOF_(4)` respectively are

A

0 and 5

B

1 and 5

C

1 and 4

D

2 and 3.
