Consider three hypothetical ionic compounds `AB, A_(2)B` and `A_(2)B_(3)`, where in all the compounds B is in `-2` oxidation state and A has a variable oxidation state. What is the correct order of lattice energy for these compounds ?
A. `A_(2)B gt AB gt A_(2)B_(3)`
B. `A_(2)B_(3) gt AB gt A_(2)B`
C. `AB gt A_(2)B gt A_(2)B_(3)`
D. `A_(2)B_(3) gt A_(2)B gt AB`
