The correct answer is A) Fluorine. Fluorine has the highest electron affinity among the options provided. Electron affinity is the energy released when an electron is added to a neutral atom to form a negative ion, and fluorine, being the most electronegative element, has the highest tendency to gain an electron, thus exhibiting the highest electron affinity.
