The correct answer is: A, C \& D only
The thermal stability of $\mathrm{OF}_2$ at room temperature is due to the small difference between the electro negativities of $\mathrm{O}$ and $\mathrm{F}$.

The order of stability of the oxides of halogens is $\mathrm{I}>\mathrm{Cl}>\mathrm{Br}$.
$\mathrm{I}_2 \mathrm{O}_5$ being a very good oxidizing agent, is used for the estimation of $\mathrm{CO}_2$ and $\mathrm{Clo}_2$ is a good bleaching agent.

Thus, $\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{C}$ and $\mathrm{D}$ are correct.
