Detailed Solution

The lattice energy is inversely proportional to the size of cation and anion. Among the given compounds, the size of cation and anion is smallest for LiF. Hence, it has maximum lattice energy.

Lattice energy can be defined as the energy required to convert one mole of an ionic solid into gaseous ionic constituents

Because of the small size of  Be2+ions, the Be2+ and OH are more tightly held in the crystal.
