The ionization enthalpy value of $\mathrm{Ga}$ is higher than $\mathrm{Al}$ due to inability of $d$ - and $f$-electrons, which have screening effect, to compensate the increase in nuclear charge.

Boron has small size and sum of $\Delta_{i} \mathrm{H}_{1}+\Delta_{i} \mathrm{H}_{2}+\Delta_{i} \mathrm{H}_{3}$ is very high. Boron does not form $\mathrm{B}^{3+}$ ion therefore, give covalent compounds.

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$:

Assertion $A$ : The stability order of +$1$ oxidation state of $\mathrm{Ga}$, In and $\mathrm{Tl}$ is $\mathrm{Ga}<\mathrm{In}<\mathrm{Tl}$.

Reason $R$ : The inert pair effect stabilizes the lower oxidation state down the group.
