Detailed Solution

Induced dipole formation is favoured when the size is large.

Down the group as atomic size increases induced dipole formation becomes easier.

Water is a dipole. It can distort the electron cloud of inert gas and polarize the electron cloud.

Greater the atomic size of inert gas, greater the polarizability.
