Solution

The correct option is C Ba<Ca<Se<S<Ar
On moving down the group, ionisation enthalpy decreases.
Hence, the ionisation energy of Ba<Ca and Se<S.
In general, ionisation energy increases from left to right in a period. Hence, S<Ar and Ca<Se.
Hence, the correct order of increasing ionisation enthalpies is Ba<Ca<Se<S<Ar.
