Solution

The correct option is D lesser nuclear charge and greater first ionisation enthalpy
In comparision to boron, beryllium has lesser nuclear charge and greater first ionisation enthalpy.
Electronic configuration of Be(4)=1s2, 2s2
It possess completely filled s orbital. Hence, high amount of energy is required to pull the electron from the gaseous atom. Beryllium (4) lies left of the boron (5) and on moving from left to right a proton is added due to which nuclear charge increases from Be to B.
