$\huge\mathbb\orange{Oxygen}$

Among the following, Oxygen is the most electronegative element because as you move from left to right, electronegativity increases. This means that oxygen is one of the most electronegative elements because it is situated on the right part of the periodic table. Moreover, Oxygen has 6 valence electrons so it can still attract 2 more electrons to fill the valence shell.
