Which one of the following reactions of Xenon compounds is not feasible?

A$$\mathrm{X}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{O}_3+6\mathrm{H}\mathrm{F}\rightarrow \mathrm{X}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{F}_{6}+3\mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{O}$$
Correct Answer
B$$3\mathrm{X}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{F}_{4}+6\mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{O}\rightarrow 2\mathrm{X}\mathrm{e}+$$ Xe $$\mathrm{O}_{3}+12$$ HF $$+ 1.5\mathrm{O}_{2}$$
C$$2\mathrm{X}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{F}_{2}+2\mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{O}\rightarrow 2\mathrm{X}\mathrm{e}+4\mathrm{H}\mathrm{F}+\mathrm{O}_{2}$$
D$$\mathrm{X}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{F}_{6}+\mathrm{R}\mathrm{b}\mathrm{F}\rightarrow$$ Rb $$[\mathrm{X}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{F}_7]$$

Solution

$$HF$$ is the strong reducing agent and hence, it will definitely reduce xenon's oxidation state. But in the option $$(A)$$, the oxidation number of xenon is unchanged and hence, it is not feasible.
