Detailed Solution

The solubility of the chlorides of the alkali metal decreases down the group.

CsCl<RbCl<KCl<NaCl<LiCl (Solubility in water)

lithium cation has a large charge density. So lithium cation can distort the electron cloud of neighboring halide ions.

CsCl<RbCl<KCl<NaCl<LiCl (M.P.)

Also the Lettice energy order,

CsCl>RbCl>KCl>NaCl>LiCl (Lattice energy)

Hence, option C is correct.
