The set representing the correct order of ionic radius is :
As you move down a group in the periodic table, the number of electron shells increases, which naturally increases the ionic radius.
When species have the same number of electrons (isoelectronic) or are diagonally related, a higher positive charge pulls the remaining electrons closer to the nucleus, significantly shrinking the ionic radius.
Hence,
$$\text{Li}^+ > \text{Mg}^{2+}$$
Therefore, Overall can be written as
$$\text{Na}^+ > \text{Li}^+ > \text{Mg}^{2+} > \text{Be}^{2+}$$
