Option: 1

\mathrm{MX}


Option: 2

It is observed that there is a big jump from \mathrm{IE_2\: and\: IE_3.} It implies that it requires huge
ionisation energy to remove third electron from the element. The element must be
belonging to Group 2 and has two valence shell electrons.
Halides of Group 2 elements form have the general formula \mathrm{MX_2.}

Hence Option 2 is correct.
