Explanation / Answer

Note that ionization energy from IE6 to IE7 increases dramatically(from 13329 to 71345). thus we can deduce that electrons are beignremoved from an inner shell which has higher affinity to thenucleus. Thus, the element must be in group VI. hence, oxygen is the answer. (C) is the correctchoice. Hope this helps!
