Write a balanced half-reaction describing the oxidation of aqueous iodide anions to gaseous diiodine.

I might be a little late but in case anyone in the future needs it the answer is 2I^-(aq) ---> I_2(g)+2e^-

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.
