Solution

The correct option is B

K < Na < Al < Mg


Ionisation energy decreases down the group, but increases from left to right in a period. So, K < Na < Al < Mg is the correct order of ionization energy.

Potassium is present in the fourth period. Sodium, aluminium and magnesium are present in the third period.
