Solution
The correct option is C II and IV The electron affinity of an atom or molecule is defined as the amount of energy released or spent when an electron is added to a neutral atom or molecule in the gaseous state to form a negative ion.
Now Br and Cl have positive electron affinity value as if an electron is added to them, they achieve stable full-filled configuration, thus releasing energy.
