Detailed Solution

Statement-A: The IE depends on the type of the sub shell in which the electron is present. As s-electron penetrates more nearer to nucleus, so its more tightly held than p electrons and similarly d-electrons are more tightly held then f-electron. Therefore the statement is correct.

Statement -B: N=7; 1s22s22p3 here nitrogen has half-filled stable configuration while for O=8; 1s22s22p4 Oxygen has incompletely filled unstable 2p orbital but for the second IE, N+= 1s22s22p2 has incompletely filled unstable 2p orbital whereas for O+=1s22s22p3 oxygen has half filled stable configuration. Therefore the statement-2 is correct 

Statement (C): IE3>IE2>IE1 is correct because the successive IE of various of electrons is directly proportional to the charge on the residual charge.
