Carbon-halogen bond length increases down the halogen group as the atomic (covalent) radius of the halogen increases, so C-I is the longest bond among C-F, C-Cl, C-Br, and C-I.

Bond length depends mainly on the sum of the covalent radii of the two bonded atoms. Going down group 17 from F to I, atomic size increases steadily (F < Cl < Br < I), so the covalent radius of the halogen increases in the same order.
