    The correct answer is B.

    Look into period table of elements at electronegativity.

    Electronegativity of carbon is 2.5 and of fluorine 4.0.

    Electronegativity is a strenght/ability to attract electrons.

    Fluorine eletronegativity is much higher so it's atom has stronger attraction of electrons.
