Solution
The correct option is C I I and II belongs to the 18th group (noble gas elements). Noble gas elements have highest Ionisation energy across the group. 1s22s2 is Helium and 1s22s22p6 is Neon. Since Neon resides just below the Helium and we know that ionisation energy decrease moving down the group. Hence (I) will have highest I.E.
