You see the size of the atom decreases as we move from left to right in a period.
So observe the 3rd period .From left to right first comes sodium, then magnesium and then aluminum.
So it is clear that sodium has the largest atomic radius among three.
Even you can compare the Van der Waals radius
Sodium --- 227 picometer
Magnesium --- 220 picometer
Aluminum --- 143 picometer
So from here also you can get,
Na > Mg > Al
