Which diagram of ionization energy is correct for the elements $Cu$,$Ag$,and $Au$?

The ionization potentials of $Li$ and $K$ are $5.4 \ eV$ and $4.3 \ eV$ respectively. The ionization potential of $Na$ will be .............. $eV$.

$B$ has a smaller first ionization enthalpy than $Be$. Consider the following statements:
$(I)$ It is easier to remove a $2p$ electron than a $2s$ electron.
$(II)$ The $2p$ electron of $B$ is more shielded from the nucleus by the inner core of electrons than the $2s$ electrons of $Be$.
$(III)$ The $2s$ electron has more penetration power than the $2p$ electron.
$(IV)$ The atomic radius of $B$ is more than $Be$.
(Atomic number: $B=5, Be=4$)
The correct statements are:
