Why does the successive ionization enthalpy of an element increase in the order: $1^{st} < 2^{nd} < 3^{rd}$?

  • A
    Due to increase in nuclear charge.
  • B
    Due to decrease in atomic size.
  • C
    Due to the increased electrostatic attraction between the remaining electrons and the nucleus as the positive charge on the ion increases.
  • D
    Due to the removal of electrons from inner shells.
