Which of the following elements has the lowest ionization energy?

Which of the following is the $CORRECT$ decreasing order of ionisation enthalpy for the given elements?

Triad-$I$ $[N^{3-}, O^{2-}, Na^{+}]$
Triad-$II$ $[N^{+}, C^{+}, O^{+}]$
Choose the species of lowest $IP$ from triad-$I$ and highest $IP$ from triad-$II$ respectively.

Assertion $(A)$: Boron has a smaller first ionisation enthalpy than beryllium.
Reason $(R)$: The penetration of a $2s$-electron to the nucleus is more than the $2p$-electron; hence,the $2p$-electron is more shielded by the inner core of electrons than $2s$-electrons.
