The excitation of the bond can increase its reactivity, leading to faster bond cleavage and a higher likelihood of reaction with fluorine. The goal is to identify the correct statement regarding the effect of this excitation on the reaction dynamics, particularly in terms of the relative reactivity of H and D atoms."}
