As per Moseley’s law, the physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic
functions of their respective Atomic numbers.
If we closely observe the periodic table, we shall find that complete s-block, d-block, f- block are metals and heavy p-block elements also possess metallic character.
Ionisation energy usually increase along a period but there are some exception to this such as Be and B, N and O. For transition elements, d-subshells are not filled monotonically along the period due to stable configuration of half-filled and fully filled d-orbitals in Chromium and Copper respectively.

Hence Option 4 is correct.
