Solution

The correct option is B first electron affinity
  • The first electron affinity is defined as the change in energy (in kJ/mole) of a neutral atom (in the gaseous phase) when an electron is added to the atom to form a negative ion.
In the above reaction, X is gaining one electron to form uninegative ion, hence, E is first electron affinity of the atom.
