Solution

The correct option is A C>Be>B>Li
In general, as we move from left to right across the period, the ionisation enthalpy increases as nuclear charge increases.
But removing an electron from outer shell of B will make them to attain a fully filled stable electronic configuration (B+1s22s2) so that the first ionisation energy of B is lower than Be. Thus, the correct order of decreasing first ionisation energy is,
C>Be>B>Li
Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
