The correct answer is: A>B>C>D

Bond strength is inversely proportional to the bond length of E - H bond of hydrides of 16th group hydrides. The bond length increases down the group. Hence, bond dissociation enthalpy decreases down the group.

Hence, bond dissociation energy of E-H bond in hydrides of group 16 follows the order

H2O > H2 S > H2Se > H2Te.
