Li+ being smallest, has maximum charge density . Li+ is most heavily hydrated among all alkali metal ions. Effective size of Li+ in aq solution is therefore, largestand therefore moves slowest under electric field.

Yes lithium is correct ans.. Challenge that question..
its answer is given wrong in neet answer key.. lithium being smallest is hydrated most . Thus attains very large size in aq. State thus moves slowest

In the answer key Rb is given as the answer. I think that is because under electric field the alkali metal ions are not hydrated as H+ and OH- ions move towards positive and negative electrode. So Rb (among the others) having the largest size has least mobility
