Detailed Solution

In general, from left to right in a period, ionisation enthalpy increases due to an increase in effective nuclear charge.

But due to extra stability of half-filled (P) and full-filled electronic configuration (Mg), required ionisation enthalpy is more from neighbouring elements. i.e., first ionisation enthalpy order is

Al<Mg<Si<S<P

Hence, the required answer is D.
