The correct answer is:
$\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{Be}>\mathrm{B}>\mathrm{Li}$
As we go from left to right in period the ionisation potential increases but $\mathrm{Be}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ are exception as the Be has $1 s^2, 2 s^2$ and boron has $1 s^2, 2 s^2, 2 p^1$ so it's easy to remove electron from boron than berylium decreasing order of their first ionisation enthalpies.

\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{Be}>\mathrm{B}>\mathrm{Li}

So, option (3) is correct.
