Solution

The correct option is C $N a F < M g F_{2} < A l F_{3}$
Lattice energy is directly proportional to the product of charges on ions.
Here, $F^{-}$ anion is same in all the compounds.

The corresponding cations are $N a^{+ 1}, M g^{+ 2}, A l^{+ 3}$

So, the lattice energy follows the order: $N a F < M g F_{2} < A l F_{3}$
