Answer #1

Answer : calcium

Explanation :

ionization energy is the energy is required to remove one electron from gaseous atom of its outermost valence shell.

here gallium valence = +3 . so it can lose 3 electrons

potassium has one valence electron. so only 1 electron is easily removed.

Calcium has 2 valence electrons . Ca loses 2 electrons easily . but to remove 3rd electron from calcium it is very difficult. so it requires highest energy to remove 3rd electron from calcium. so it has 3rd highest ionization energy
