Solution

The correct option is B Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1
The electron affinity of fluorine is less than chlorine because fluroine is exceptionally small in size because of which energy has to be supplied to introduce an extra electron to overcome the electronic repulsions between the incoming electron and the electrons already present.
