Answer:

boron is smaller than nitrogen in size

Explanation:

BF3 is stronger covalent bond

NF3 is weaker

NF3 easily breaks bond it has low polarizing power.

BF3 don't break bond easily has high polarizing power

Explanation:

The reason lies in hybridization!

There should be a 4th option stating that, otherwise the question is wrong.

BF3 is sp2 hybridised with trigonal planar shape

So the dipole moment gets cancelled and the molecule becomes non polar.

However, NF3 is sp3 hybridised with Pyramidal shape. So, net dipole moment is not zero and thus it is polar
