The valence electron configurations for three consecutive Period 3 elements are provided in the table below.

Element	Atomic number	Valence electron configuration
\(\text{Mg}\)	12	\(3s^2\)
\(\text{Al}\)	13	\(3s^2 3p^1\)
\(\text{Si}\)	14	\(3s^2 3p^2\)

Which of the following correctly ranks the three elements in order of increasing first ionization energy?
