The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
BeCl2 exist as dimer below 1200K and monomer above 1200K and monomer exists in vapour phase as in solid phase it polymerized.
Structure of BeCl2 is polymer is similar to to Be hydride polymer but bonding id different. Both show clustring and halide have halogen bridges.
