Solution

The correct option is A a high electronegativity
The most active nonmetal has a high electronegativity.
Non-metals have a tendency to attract a shared pair of electrons in a chemical compound and are electronegative in nature. Fluorine is the most electronegative element. It is a non-metal. Other active non-metals with high electronegativity are N, O and Cl.
