The correct option is A
Fifth

Oxygen and chlorine are the more electronegative of the 4 given options. Even though chlorine falls under the same group as fluorine, which is the most electronegative element, oxygen has a higher electronegativity due to its compact size. This is one of the anomalous properties of oxygen.
