The electronic configurations of elements $A, B$ and $C$ are $[He] 2s^1$,$[Ne] 3s^1$ and $[Ar] 4s^1$ respectively. Which one of the following orders is correct for the first ionization potentials (in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$) of $A, B$ and $C$?

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A:$ The energy required to form $Mg^{2+}$ from $Mg$ is much higher than that required to produce $Mg^{+}$.
Reason $R:$ $Mg^{2+}$ is a small ion and carries more charge than $Mg^{+}$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Given below are two statements:
Statement $(I)$: The first ionisation enthalpy of the elements $Na$, $Mg$, $Cl$ and $Ar$ follows the order $Na > Mg > Cl > Ar$.
Statement $(II)$: Among $Ca$, $Al$, $Fe$ and $B$, the third ionisation enthalpy is very high for $Ca$.

Match List-$I$ with List-$II$ with correct code:
