Solution

The correct option is B beryllium
Option (A) is correct.
Compounds of beryllium have a low melting point and are soluble in organic solvents due to the small size of beryllium ion and high size/charge ratio of a beryllium ion.These compounds are more covalent, stable, stronger Lewis acids and more soluble than those of remaining group 2 cations.
