Solution

The correct option is D Fluorine
(D) F.
Ionisation Energy: This is the energy that is required to remove one electron from the valence shell.
Now, as the F has the tendency to gain one electron to complete its octet, hence it has the tendency to gain the electron not lose the electron.
Important point is that F does not form the positive oxidation state, as it is the most electronegative element.

Option D is correct.
