I would go with the bond dissociation energy. Here is a table.
Distance, as you suggest, plays a part but so does the polarity of the bond.

1. Which of the following bonds is the strongest?
a. F-F
b. F-Cl
c. F-Br
d. F-I
I think it's A because of the same atomic radius. Is that correct? Am I on the right track?

Dr. Bob,
Thank you for the chart; its really helps. Just to make sure I am on the same page as you. I look up the bonds listed. F-I has the highest deltaHf (kj/mol). So that means that is takes more energy to break that bond; thus have the strong bond?

That is my take on it.
