Highest oxidation state of manganese in fluoride is +4 (MnF4) but highest oxidation state in oxides is +7 (Mn2O7) because

  1. fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen
  2. fluorine does not possess d-orbitals
  3. fluorine stabilises lower oxidation state
  4. in covalent compounds, fluorine can form single bond only while oxygen forms double bond.

Answer

(D) in covalent compounds, fluorine can form single bond only while oxygen forms double bond.
