As the number of protons increases but the distance between the protons and electron REMAINS THE SAME... O the electronegativity stays the same.
O the electronegativity decreases.
O the electronegativity increases.

The correct option is;

The electronegativity increases

Explanation:

The electronegativity is the measure of an atom's ability to attract a shared electron pair. The electronegativity of an atom is dependent on the atom's atomic number and the separation distance between the electrons in the valence shell and the positively charged nucleus such that an increase in the atomic number results in an increase in electronegativity and an increase in the distance between the valence electrons and the nucleus, leads to a decrease in electronegativity.
