The answer is C. The high solvation energy for LI+

Explanation:

LiF has lower solubility because of the high solvation energy of Li + ion. This is due to the smaller size and very big charge compared to Cs + ion which has a bigger size and solvent molecules easily surround it.

Solvation energy is simply the amount energy that is required to make a solute dissolve in a solvent.
