# | Salt | \(K_{sp}\) at \(298\text{ K}\) |
| :— | :— |
| \(\text{AgCl}(s)\) | \(1.8 \times 10^{-10}\) |
| \(\text{AgBr}(s)\) | \(5.0 \times 10^{-13}\) |
| \(\text{AgI}(s)\) | \(8.3 \times 10^{-17}\) |

The solubility product constants, \(K_{sp}\), for three sparingly soluble silver salts at \(298\text{ K}\) are given in the table above.

Which of the following correctly ranks the salts in order of increasing molar solubility in pure water at \(298\text{ K}\)?
