Solution:

The solubility of hydroxides of group 2 elements increases on moving down the group. $Be\left(\right.OH\left(\left.\right)_{2}$ has minimum solubility in water. The lesser the solubility of the hydroxides, the smaller will be is solubility product. Hence, $Be\left(\right.OH\left(\left.\right)_{2}$ has the lowest solubility product amongst the group 2 hydroxides.
