The correct statement is

  • BF3 is the strongest Lewis acid among the other boron halides

  • BI3 is the weakest Lewis acid among the other boron halides

  • there is maximum pπ- pπ back boinding in BF3

  • there is minimum pπ- pπ back boinding in BF3


C.

there is maximum pπ- pπ back boinding in BF3

BF3 is a weaker Lewis acid than other boron halides due to strong pπ - pπ back bonding in BF3. In BF3 each fluorine has completely unutilised 2p while boron has a vacant 2p orbital. Now since, both of these orbitals belong to same energy level (2p), they can overlap effectively as a result of which fluorine electrons are transferred into the vacant 2p orbital of boron resulting in the formation of an additional  pπ - pπ bond. As a result of back donation of electrons, the electron deficiency of boron reduced and hence, Lewis acidity is decreased.
