We need to consider the role of relative size of cations and anions.
The least soluble one should have a larger cation.
K, Li, and Cs have a larger ion and thus is less soluble.
They have a more negative lattice enthalpy as well.
So NaCl is the most soluble.

Li has high hydration energy than any other. So on mixing in water it gets ionise. So it is most soluble in water
