Solution

The correct option is B Fe2O3>FeO>NaCl
Lattice energy is defined as the energy required to separate a mole of an ionic solid into gaseous ions. Lattice energy cannot be measured empirically, but it can be calculated using electrostatics or estimated using the Born-Haber cycle.

Correct order is Fe2O3>FeO>NaCl

Hence , option B is correct .
