Solution

The correct option is D $1 s^{2}$ $2 s^{2}$ $2 p^{6}$ $3 s^{2}$ $3 p^{5}$
Electron gain enthalpy is the amount of energy released when an electron is added to a isolated gaseous atom.
Halogens have greater electron gain enthalpy values. So, ${1 S}^{2} {2 S}^{2} {2 P}^{6} {3 S}^{2} {3 P}^{5}$ has greater value.
