Correct Option - 2
Detailed Solution:
In an aqueous medium, all alkali metal cations are converted into their hydrated form. More intensely positive cations have more hydration, and hence the size of the cation increases after hydration. Therefore, the Li? cation has a larger size in hydrated form and the least conductivity. The order o

Li+ has the highest hydration enthalpy.
Hence it is most hydrated
Therefore, Correct order of hydrated radii is Cs+ < Rb+ < K+ < Na+ < Li+
