Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
B

The elements X(19), Y(37) and Z(55) are the elements of same group (IA). As atomic number, increases, the ionization potential decrease down the group. Since, the position of Y is in between X and Z. Thus, the ionization potential of Y will also be in between X and Z.
