The table below provides the atomic numbers and valence electron configurations for four elements in Period 3 of the periodic table.

Element	Atomic number	Valence electron configuration
\(\text{Si}\)	\(14\)	\(3s^2\,3p^2\)
\(\text{P}\)	\(15\)	\(3s^2\,3p^3\)
\(\text{S}\)	\(16\)	\(3s^2\,3p^4\)
\(\text{Cl}\)	\(17\)	\(3s^2\,3p^5\)

Based on periodic trends and electron configurations, which of the following correctly ranks these elements in order of decreasing first ionization energy?
