To fulfil the condition where \mathrm{ IE_2} is significantly higher than \mathrm{ IE_1,} the atom must attain stable electronic configuration of either half-filled or fully-filled orbitals after removing one electron. Among the given options, \mathrm{1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{6} 3s^{1}} is one such configuration where after the removal of one electron, it attains a stable noble gas configuration.

Hence option 4 is correct.
