Explanation / Answer

answer : A) act as an oxidizing agent

explanation :

Electron affinity means the tendency of an atom accept electron .

oxidizing agent means which involve in the reduction that means it is oxidizing agent

Cl   + e- ----------------------> Cl-

here Cl ------------> oxidizing agent

if any species readily loose electrons that is called reducing agent
