Correct option is : (C) Chlorine

In general the electron gain enthalpy (magnitude) increases along a period as we move from left to right and decreases as we move down in a group, but due to small size of 'F' it has less electron gain enthalpy than Cl

Hence, Cl has highest negative electron gain enthalpy
