Although fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen, but the ability of oxygen to stabilise higher oxidation states exceeds that of fluorine. Why?

Although flurorine is more electronegative than oxygen, but the ability of oxygen to stabilize higher oxidation states exceeds that of fluorine . Why ?

(A) Although fluorine is more electronega-tiye than oxygen, but the ability of oxygen to stabilise the higher oxidation states with d- block metal is more. (R) Oxygen has ability to form multiple bonds to metals

Both O_2 and F_2 stabilize high oxidation states but the ability of oxygen to stabilize the higher oxidation state exceeds that of fluorine why?
