The compound that is most stable in the given list is (C) CCl4.
CCl4 is a type of haloalkanes which has been tetra substituted, with four chloorine atoms replacing the hydrogen atoms of methane. It is given the IUPAC name of '1, 2, 3, 4-tetrachloromethane' based on its structure. Fluorine atoms are too small to suitably be attached to the carbon atom, and they will experience high repulsion. Iodine and Bromine atoms are too bid, and make the bond very long, and as a result, weak. Chlorine, on the other hand, is of an ideal size to be stable.
