Increase in polarisation
Increases Ionic character
Increases Covalent character
Decreases ionic character
Decreases covalent character
Due to polarisation, there is partial sharing of electrons between the cation and anion due to which some covalent characters are introduced in their ionic bond. That means more is the covalent character more is the polarisation.
Hence, option number (2) is correct.
