Solution

The correct option is B Al<Mg<Si<S<P
In general, from left to right in a period, ionization enthalpy increases due to an increase in effective nuclear charge.
But due to extra stability of half filled (P) and full filled electronic configuration (Mg), required ionisation enthalpy is more from neighbouring elements. i.e., first ionization enthalpy order is
Al<Mg<Si<S<P
