answer is C third group element 
as you can see the difference of 3rd and 4th ionization energy is huge as compared to other consecutive ionization energy, also the element attain noble gas configuration when 3 electron are taken and the ionization energy​ of noble gas is much much higher than compasred to other neighbor atom .
