Solution

The correct option is B $L i C l < B e C l_{2} < B C l_{3} < C C l_{4}$
According to Fajans' rule, more the charge on the cation, more is the covalent character. As the charge on the cation increases from $L i C l$ to $C C l_{4}$ , the covalent character also increases in the same manner. Thus, the correct order of increase in the covalent character is:
$L i C l < B e C l_{2} < B C l_{3} < C C l_{4}$
