(B) Electronegativity increases across a period from left to right and decreases down a group.Comparing the elements:$F$ $(Z=9)$ is in period $2$,group $17$.$O$ $(Z=8)$ is in period $2$,group $16$.$N$ $(Z=7)$ is in period $2$,group $15$.$P$ $(Z=15)$ is in period $3$,group $15$.Since $F$,$O$,and $N$ are in the same period $(2)$,their electronegativity follows the order $F > O > N$.$P$ is below $N$ in group $15$,so its electronegativity is lower than $N$.Thus,the correct order is $F > O > N > P$.

The correct order of electronegativities of $N$,$O$,$F$,and $P$ is
