Answer:
B. None of these
Step-by-step explanation:
Sulfur has less ionization energy than phosphorus because sulfur has a pair of electron in its 3p subshell that increases electron repulsion in sulfur and sulfur electrons can easily remove from its sub-level.
While, there are no electron pairs in 3p subshell of phosphorus, therefore it requires more energy to remove an electron from 3p subshell.
Hence, the reason is electron repulsion and the correct answer is B.
