Al3+ because they all have the same number of electrons, however Al3+ has the most protons and therefore greatest nuclear charge. In Al3+, the same number of electrons are being attracted by more protons in the nucleus, so the electrons are being pulled closer to the nucleus, reducing the size of the ionic radius.
