metal hydrides are ionic covalent or molecular in nature

Metal hydrides are ionic, covalent or molecular in nature. Among $$LiH,NaH,KH,RbH,CsH,$$ the correct order of increasing ionic character is

A. $$LiH > NaH > CsH > KH > RbH$$

B. $$LiH < NaH < KH < RbH < CsH$$

C. $$RbH > CsH > NaH > KH > LiH$$

D. $$NaH > CsH > RbH > LiH > KH$$

Answer : $$LiH < NaH < KH < RbH < CsH$$

Solution :
Ionic character increases with the size of the cation as we move down the group.
