Which of the following higher hydration energy

due to Smaller the ion, the higher the hydration enthalpy will be because smaller atoms can accommodate a large number of water molecules around it and get hydrated. Hydration enthalpy decreases down the group; the size of the atom increases due to the addition of extra valence shells.
