Solution:

The alkali metals given in the options belong to Group 1 of the periodic table.

As we move down a group, the number of electron shells increases, which leads to an increase in atomic size.

The order of the given alkali metals from top to bottom in Group 1 is Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Rubidium (Rb), and Caesium (Cs).

Therefore, the order of their atomic sizes is Na < K < Rb < Cs.
