BMAT 2018 Q 22 Finding molecular compound

I got 3 mol for both F and O, so I estimated the answer would be one of options C, D, and Em but I’m not sure why it’s C.

(Please ignore amu thing)

hi
ratio F : O = 3 : 3
smallest ratio = empirical formula = 1 : 1
molecular formula = 2 * empirical formula = 2 : 2 ratio
So the answer is C) O2F2
