16 &17 th group of elements:

3rd period elements have high negative electron gain enthalpy than 2nd period element, because In 2nd period element incoming electron experiences a greater force of repulsion because of small size.

Electron gain enthalpy  F< Cl,\, \, \, \, O< S

Correct order: O< S< F< Cl

Option (3) is correct answer.
