answer : B. strontium oxide
explanation:
NaF , SrO , CsI , BaSO4 , CaF2
lattice energy is directly proportional to the charges of the ions and inversly proportional to the radius of atoms
NaF -------> Na+ + F-
SrO ----------> Sr+2 + O-2
CsI ----------> Cs+ + I-
BaSO4 -----------> Ba+2 + SO4-2
CaF2 ----------> Ca+2 + 2F-
among the given BaSO4 and SrO have higher charges. so they should be higher lattice energy . now we have to decide which one is higher.
SrO is higher because Sr size is smaller than Ba . so ultimate answer is SrO
