(C) Electronegativity of an atom increases with an increase in the $s$-character of its hybrid orbitals.In $XeF_2$,$Xe$ is $sp^3d$ hybridized ($20\% \ s$-character).In $XeF_4$,$Xe$ is $sp^3d^2$ hybridized ($16.6\% \ s$-character).In $XeO_3$,$Xe$ is $sp^3$ hybridized ($25\% \ s$-character).In $XeOF_2$,$Xe$ is $sp^3d$ hybridized ($20\% \ s$-character).Since $sp^3$ hybridization has the highest $s$-character $(25\%)$,the $Xe$ atom in $XeO_3$ exhibits the highest electronegativity.
