The correct answer is: Doubly ionized Lithium
If r0 is radius of first orbit in Hydrogen atom then radius of first orbit in Hydrogen like atoms is given by r=r0Z.
For Hydrogen, Z=1
For Deuterium, Z=1
For singly ionized Helium He+, Z=2
For doubly ionized Lithium Li2+, Z=3

 Radius of the first orbit, r is minimum for doubly ionized Lithium.
