Answer:

Oxygen

Step-by-step explanation:

Atomic radius trend

-decreases from left to right

-increases from top to bottom

Tungsten is in period 7, which has a larger atomic radius

Oxygen is in period 2, which is in a lower energy level and is on the right side. Therefore, has a smaller atomic radius.
