The correct statement is: **The bond in nitrogen gas is the most difficult to break.**

Nitrogen gas (N2) has a triple bond, which means it requires a significant amount of energy to break. This gives nitrogen gas a very high bond energy compared to other diatomic gases like fluorine (F2) and iodine (I2), which have weaker single bonds.
