Solution
The correct option is BNaF, MgF2, AlF3 NaF, MgF2, AlF3
Here both covalent character and the melting point increases. As per Fajan's Rule, smaller the cation and higher charge value favour covalent character.
Also, melting point increases with ion-ion interaction, which are function of d, the distance between the ions and q, charge on the ions.
