Solution

The correct option is C 16
Notice that there is an abnormal jump in the $7^{t h}$ ionization enthalpy.

Therefore, the element has 6 valence electrons and hence it belongs to group 16.

The electronic configuration would be 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁴

Nevertheless, there is a big jump in the $5^{t h}$ ionization enthalpy. It is due to removal of four electrons from the p-subshell, the $5^{t h}$ electron has to be removed from 3s-orbital.

In general, we can say that when there is a change in the sub-shell or change in the shell, there will be a significant leap in the ionization enthalpy. There are some exceptions though.
