Solution

The correct option is B BaCl2
According to the Fajan's rule, smaller the cation, bigger the anion, more is the covalent character. On the other hand, bigger cation, in the given case, will favor ionic character, as the anion is same for all. Here, Ba2+ is the biggest cation. Hence, BaCl2 will have maximum ionic character.
