Correct Answer - B,D
(B)Addition of second electron to `O^-` is opposed by electrostatic repulsion due to same charge. Hence energy is given for the addition of second electron.
(D)Ar has stable electronic configuration `(ns^2 np^6)` .Hence energy has to be given to add an extra electron to from `Al^-`.
