Detailed Solution

We can see  that  a sudden large jump between the values of second and third ionization energies of an element would be associated with electronic configuration 1s2,2s22p63s2.

1s2,2s22p63s2 will loose two electrons to form 1s2,2s22p6 which is a stable electronic configuration of noble gas Ne whose Octet is completely filled. When a third electron is to be removed, a large amount of energy is required as this stable electronic configuration is to be broken.

Hence, option(B) is the answer.
