I.E. depends on the size of atom.As small is the atom more energy is required to free the valence electron and vice-versa.
therefore largest sized atom has lowest IE. Hence answer is iodine

Acc. to the question ASTATINE has the lowest ionization energy among halogen. All halogens have seven valence electrons, but as the atomic size increases, the attraction between the nucleus and these outer electrons decreases. The largest halogen atom is astatine.
