Solution

The correct option is B False
Beryllium hydride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula $B e H_{2}$
It is a colourless solid that is insoluble in solvents that do not decompose it. Unlike the ionic hydrides of the heavier group 2 elements, beryllium hydride is covalently bonded(due to less electronegativity difference between hydrogen and beryllium).
So the given statement is false.
Hence option B is correct.
