The correct option is A halogens
The tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself is known as electronegativity.

It increases across a period from left to right. Among all other groups, halogens have the highest electronegativity. It is due to their high nuclear charge and small atomic radius.
