Detailed Solution

  • Basicity of metal hydroxides increases as we move down the group due to the increase in the internuclear distance between the cation and oxygen atom of hydroxide ion. This enhances the ease of ionization of hydroxide ion and thus the basicity increases.

 So, Ba(OH)2 is the most basic among them.
