Detailed Solution

Overall as we go down in a group, ionic radius increases and lattice energy decreases. However, in a period from left to right as the charge on the ion increases, lattice energy increases.

Lattice energy Charge on ionsize of the ion

Correct order of lattice energy is NaI>NaBr>NaCl>NaF.

Therefore, the correct option is (B).
