Answer:

k

Step-by-step explanation:

electron affinity (EA) depends on various factors like effective nuclear charge (enc) , size of the atom, ellipticity of sub-shell (ep) , nature of configuration.

more is the enc more will be the EA

more is the size less will be the EA

more valance shell ellipticity (closer to the nuclei) more will the EA ( all given element posses P orbital in the valance shell)
