Explanation:

The answer is electron-electron repulsion due to smaller atomic size. Oxygen being smaller in size than sulfur, has its valence shell electrons placed more closely than sulfur. Due to this electrons repel each other greatly. ... S0 the overall electron affinity of the oxygen comes out to be lesser than that of sulfur
