Solution

The correct option is B O
Ionization potential increases from left to right in a period and inert gas has the maximum value.
But, the electronic configuration of nitrogen is 1s22s22p3 which contains half-filled p-orbital in the valence shell by which it gets extra stability.

So, while comparing oxygen and nitrogen, ionization potential for nitrogen will be more than oxygen.
