Correct Answer - B
Ionization potential or energy (IE) increases across a period but with certain breaks. `IE_(1)` of `Al(3s^(1)p^(1))` is less than `IE_(1)` of `Mg(3s^(2))` as electron is to be removed from 3p which is easy as compared to 3s. Further `IE_(3)` shows the reverse trend because now for `Al^(2+)(3s^(1))` electon is to be removed from 3s as compared to the completely filled 2p orbitals in `Mg^(2+)`. The same becomes true for `IE_(2)` of Na, hence option (b) is correct.
