The group of elements that will have the lowest electronegativities would be the elements in group 1 of the periodic table. These are metals, and would have low electronegativity as they would not need to attract or pull electrons but to give up one, to have a stable octet. Also, if you note the trend in electronegativity, it increases as you move from left to right on the table, here we are at the leftmost portion of the Table.

The elements with the least chances to attract electrons from the other atoms are group 1 elements. Thus option A is correct.

The elements attract or lose electrons in order to attain a stable configuration. The system has been based on the number of valence electrons in the atom.

The atom with the least electronegativity has the changes to give up the electrons, and the least chance to attract the electrons from the other atoms.

The group 1 elements have 1 valence electrons, and thus have the high chances to give the electron, with the least chances to attract electrons from the other compounds. Thus option A is correct.
