$X$,$Y$,and $Z$ are elements of the same period and belong to the $p$-block. $Y$ has a positive value of $\Delta_{eg}H$ (electron gain enthalpy),and $Z$ has the highest $2^{nd}$ ionization energy $(I.E.)$ among them. What is the correct order of their atomic numbers?
$(a)$ $X < Y < Z$
$(b)$ $X < Z < Y$
$(c)$ $Y < Z < X$
$(d)$ $Z < Y < X$
