Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Na+, Mg2+, Al3+, and F- are isoelectronic species, each having 10 electrons. For isoelectronic ions, the ionic radius decreases as the nuclear charge (number of protons) increases because the greater positive charge pulls the same number of electrons closer. F- has the lowest nuclear charge (9), so it has the largest radius.
