In general, the atomic radius decreases from left to right in the period whereas fluorine has less radius than the neon it is because for noble gases we can measure vander waals radius and which is greater than radius. The atomic radius of fluorine (F) and neon (Ne) is 0.72 Å and 1.6 Å respectively. Therefore, the correct option is b.
