Greatest Ionic character compound will have least covalent character and vice versa.
Therefore,
LiCl is the least Ionic compound as from Fajans Rule we know that smaller cation pulls the negative charge density of the anion with stronger force since it has a great positive charge density therefore it will have most covalent character and thus least Ionic character.
Similarly, we can argue that RbCl is the most Ionic compound as the postive charge density on the cation is the least of all the options.
