The correct answer is: of common ion effect
The solubility of AgI in NaI solution is less than that in pure water because of common ion effect.
AgI(s)Ag+(aq)+I-(aq)
The common ion, I- , obtained from strong electrolyte NaI shifts the equilibrium from left to right and this results in the decreases of solubility of AgI.
