Solution

The correct option is A
AgCl

As the charge on the ion increases, the electrostatic attraction of the cation for the outer electrons of the anion also increases, with the result its ability for forming the covalent bond increases. Thus covalency increases in the order: $N a C l, M g {C l}_{2}, A l {C l}_{3}$
