The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

- The ionisation enthalpy decreases as we move down a group. 
Boron (B) has the highest ionisation enthalpy in Group 13, while Gallium (Ga) has the lowest due to the larger atomic radius and shielding effect as we move down the group. 
Thus, the correct answer is (1).
