A

Maximum ionisation enthalpy

B

Maximum degree of hydration of $Li^{+}$

C

Maximum hygroscopic nature.

D

Maximum chemical reactivity.

Answer

Maximum degree of hydration of $Li^{+}$

Explanation

Solution

: $Li^{+}$ has maximum degree of hydration due to smallest size in the group hence its salts are mostly hydrated.
