The correct answer is: Barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2)
Barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2) has the highest solubility in water among the alkaline earth metal hydroxides. As you move down the group, the solubility of the hydroxides increases, and barium hydroxide is the most soluble due to its position at the bottom of the group.
