The correct answer is: Rb > K > Na > Li
Ionic mobility depends upon the size of the hydration sphere means greater the  size cation lesser the hydration sphere and higher ionic mobility. that is
Ionic mobility  1  Hydration sphere of alkali cation
Size of hydration sphere: Li + > Na + > K + > Rb + > Cs +
Ionic Mobility: Li + < Na + < K + < Rb + < Cs +
