Detailed Solution

If the ionic radii of  K+ and  F- are about 1.34 A˚ each, then the expected values of atomic radii of K and Fshould are 2.31 and  0.64respectively.

 Cations are always shorter than their parent atom, anions are always larger.

Thus radii of  K+will be more than  1.34 and that of  F- will be less than 1.34 .

Hence, option A is correct.
