Explanation:
So, oxygen is not able to accommodate more electrons due to its small size showing more electron repulsion. Whereas sulphur has plenty of space in the d-orbital and has comparatively lesser electron repulsion. Hence, Sulphur has more electron gain enthalpy than Oxygen.

Answer:S
Explanation:
Due to smaller size of the 2p orbital of oxygen, there is a steric repulsion for the extra electron. So the electron affinity of oxygen is lower than that of the sulfur.
