As we have learnt,

Ionisation energy increases along a period on moving from left to right. However, species having fully-filled or half-filled orbital configurations have greater ionisation energy than the element on their right.

So, Mg, Al, P and S can be arranged as

Al < Mg < S < P

Hence, the correct answer is option (3).
