The ionisation potential increases in a period and decreases down the group. In this case, the third ionisation potential of Mg is greater than that of Al because for third ionisation energy, we have to remove an electron from the second shell but for aluminium, the electron is to be removed from the third shell.

Therefore, Option(2) is correct
