Detailed Solution

We know that Ionization energy is the minimum energy required to remove the most loosely held electron from one mole of gaseous atoms to produce one mole of gaseous atoms and an atom is highly stable when its valence orbital is completely filled or half-filled.

In above options we can see that [Ar]3 d104 s24p3 and  [Ne]3 s23p3 has half filled p-orbital.

But, In [Ar]3 d104 s24p3 the presence of 3d10 electrons offers shielding effect, as a result the 4p3 electrons do not experience much nuclear charge and hence the electrons can be removed easily.

Hence, [Ne]3 s23p3is more stable.

Hence, option(A) is the answer.
