B): The H-I bond is the weakest. HI dissociates more easily than the others. Both HBr and HI dissociate in the presence of light; HI to the greater extent. The reference describes the H-I bond as the weakest of the hydrogen halide bonds. H2 is quite stable. the S-H bond is strong, as evidenced by how weak an acid H2S is.
