Option: 2

remains constant 


Option: 3

I.E also increases


Option: 4

None of these

The greater the Zeff on the nucleus of an atom, the more difficult it would be to remove an electron from the atom.

So, Ionisation enthalpy increases as Zeff increases.

IE\propto Z_{eff}

Therefore, Option(3) is correct.
