Solution

The correct option is D $M g \to M g^{2 +} + 2 e^{-}$
I.E. $\propto \frac{c h a r g e}{s i z e}$
$B e$ and $B a$ have lost one electron each, they should have less ionization energy than $M g$ and $C a$ .
But among the $M g$ and $C a, M g$ should have more ionization energy even though both lost two electrons because $M g$ is smaller in size.
Option D is correct.
