Answer: DIFFERENCE IN SIZE

Explanation:

Chlorine is having higher atomic radius

(atomic radius increases as we move down the group)

Since it is big there is less attraction between nucleus and electron

Also fluorine has more capacity to gain , it will not lose.

Therefore , chlorine has more electron affinity.
