Solution

The correct option is B $L i C l < B e C l_{2} < B C l_{3} < C C l_{4}$
The electronegativity follows the order: Li<Be<B<C.
The electronegativity difference decreases from left to right in any period, so and hence, the covalent character of chlorides of these elements increase from Li to C.
