The correct answer is:
and
Sometimes, when maximum covalency is obtained, the halides become inert to water. Thus, is stable. This is because is coordinately saturated and sterically hindered. Thus, is inert to water, because of kinetic rather than thermodynamic factor. cannot undergo hydrolysis as carbon does not have vacant d-orbitals to extend its covalency.
Rest other and can undergo hydrolysis as follows
