The correct answer is: Inversely proportional to effective nuclear charge
lonic radius in the $\mathrm{n}^{\text {th }}$ orbit is given by $r_n=\frac{n^2 a}{z}$ or $r_n \propto \frac{1}{Z}$ where $n$ is principal equation no., ao. bohr's radius of hydrogen atom and $Z$ is the effective nuclear energy.
