The correct answer is: SF6>PF5>SiF4 : Lewis acidic character
Here the incorrect statement is option C as the correct order of Lewis acidic character: PF5>SiF4>SF6 . Although, S has vaccant 3d-orbital but it cannot accept co-ordinate bond from Lewis base due to steric crowding factor as S-atom is already bonded to six F-atoms.
Rest other statements are correct here.
