Answer:

Option b.

Al < B < P < N

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the capacity of an atom to attract electrons.

Usually, if we look at the periodic table, the elements in the left are the ones with the least electronegativity, and as we go to the right, the electronegativity increases (this is not really exact)

There are a lot of tables of electronegativity that can be used here, we can find that:

element:    electronegativity:

    N                         3.04

    B                          2.04

    P                          2.19

    Al                          1.61

So, the order from least to greatest is:

Al, B, P, N

Then the correct option is:

b: Al < B < P < N
