Explanation
Hence, the correct option is $$C$$.
All the alkali metal ion exists as hydrated ions $$M^+ (H_2O)_n$$ in it's an aqueous solution.
The degree of hydration decreases as the ionic size increases when we go down the group. Since the mobility of ions is inversely proportional to the size of their hydrated ions, the increasing order of ionic mobility is
$$Li^+ < Na^+ < K^+ < Rb^+$$
Sodium hydroxide on reaction with sulphur dioxide forms sodium sulphite and water. The reaction is:
$$2NaOH + SO_2\rightarrow Na_2SO_3 +H_2O$$.
Hence option D is correct.
