Solution

The correct option is A Mg+2>Na+>F
The order Mg+2>Na+>F of ionic radius is not correct.
These are isoelectronic species and each species contains 10 electrons. The correct order of ionic radii is
Mg+2<Na+<F. The effective nuclear charge decreases in the order Mg+2>Na+>F. Hence, the ionic radii increase in the order Mg+2<Na+<F
