Explanation:

Fluorine (F) is in group 17 of the periodic table. Halogens are elements in group 17, which include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, etc. Metalloids have properties between metals and non - metals (e.g., silicon), metals are typically good conductors and are on the left - side of the periodic table, and alkali metals are in group 1 (e.g., lithium, sodium). So fluorine is a halogen.

Answer:

A. halogen.
