D) F because Florine is in the VII group (17 group in IUPAC system) just previous of the Inert gas group .we know every atom has tendency to form the most stable electron system like its nearest inert gas. so halogen elements(F, Cl,Br,I,At) has the most electronegativity of individual group & of them Florine has the most electronegativity of Halogens as wel most of all elements

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but hardy here the ques. is which is less ElectroNegative element

OpenStudy (anonymous):
