Question
First three ionisation energies (in $kJ/mol$) of three representative elements are  given below

Element $IE_1$ $IE_2$ $IE_3$
$P$ $495.8$ $4562$ $6910$
$Q$ $737.7$ $1451$ $7733$
$R$ $577.5$ $1817$ $2745$

Then incorrect option is

Answer

c
$(c) \,R$ is $p-block$ element, because difference between $IE_2$ and $IE_3$ is  not very high as compared to between $IE_1$ and $IE_2$; hence stable  oxidation state of $R$ will be higher than $+2.$
