Answer:

c. I, Br, Cl

Explanation:

The option C group of elements is expected to have the highest ionization energy.

Ionization energy is the energy needed to remove the most loosely held electron from an atom.

  • As such, ionization energy increases from left to right on the periodic table.
  • It reduces from top to bottom
  • The groups to the right will not readily lose their electrons.
  • Therefore, I, Br and Cl being in group 7 will have the highest ionization energy.
