Solution

The correct option is A electron affinity
Electron affinity refers to the relative amount of love that a material has for electrons. If atoms of a material have high electron affinity, then that material will have relatively higher love for electrons. This property of electron affinity will be of utmost importance as we consider the common method of charging i.e, charging by friction or rubbing.
