Solution

The correct options are
A B2H6
B Si(CH3)4
C BeEt2
D AlMe3
In BeEt2, AlMe3, B2H6 and Si(CH3)4, all electrons are paired and are dimagnetic in nature. In Si(CH3)4, Si and C have 4 valency electrons each. They form 4 covalent bonds with 4 other atoms. Hence, all electrons are paired. This results in diamagnetism.
