= Solution

For one Bernoulli variable, direct expansion gives $\operatorname{Var}F(X_1)=p(1-p)(F(1)-F(0))^2$. Applying the law of total variance successively to the coordinates gives the <variance tensorization>
$$
\boxed{\operatorname{Var}F(X)\leq p(1-p)\sum_{i=1}^n
\mathbb E\bigl(F(X)-F(X^i)\bigr)^2.}
$$
