Electronegativity shows the tendency of attracting electrons of an atom. The higher the electronegativity is, the higher chance an atom stands of attracting electrons.

Among the four, Fluorine has the highest electronegativity, which is 4.0. Therefore, the answer is (2) fluorine.

Hope this helps~
