Solution

The correct option is C ${M X}_{3}$
The successive ionization energy is increasing for metal but there is a sudden increase in fourth ionization energy as compared to the regular increasing trend.

This shows that metal is extra stable in +3 oxidation state due to which fourth ionization energy is abnormally high.

As we know that halogens have valency -1 when they react with metals with lesser electronegativity than that of halogens, the metal is most likely to form $M X_{3}$ , since +3 oxidation state of metal is most stable.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
