Ionization potential, also known as ionization energy, is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom or ion in the gaseous state. The factors affecting ionization potential include the atomic size, nuclear charge, and electron configuration. To determine which among N, O,
O
+
O
+
, and Na has the maximum ionization potential, we need to consider these factors. Thus, the species with the maximum ionization potential is
O
+
O
+
.

The correct answer is (C)
O
+
O
+
