Solution

The correct option is B 2
In general, electronegativity increases on passing from left to right along a period and decreases on descending a group. Fluorine is the most electronegative of the elements which belong to period 2 of the periodic table.

Along with fluorine, oxygen, nitrogen also has high electronegativity.

Hence, the correct option is B
