Solution

The correct option is B $K C l < C a C l_{2} < A l C l_{3} < S n C l_{4}$
According to Fajan's Rule, small cation, large anion, higher charge value favour covalent character. Higher charge value is one of the primary factors for covalent character.

Hence, the correct order of increasing covalent character is $K C l < C a C l_{2} < A l C l_{3} < S n C l_{4}$
