Detailed Solution

Lithium-ion has a small size. Hence it can easily distort the electron cloud of the anion. Hence lithium halides have partial covalent character. 

The anion with a larger size can be easily distorted. The increasing order of the ionic size is Cl<Br<I. Hence among the given halides, lithium chloride is least covalent in nature and lithium iodide is most covalent in nature.
