Solution

The correct option is C $S n C l_{4} < P b C l_{2} < M g C l_{2} < K C l$
The larger the difference in electronegativity between the two types of atoms involved in the bonding, the more ionic (polar) it is. Bonds with partially ionic and partially covalent character are called polar covalent bonds.
$S n C l_{4} < P b C l_{2} < M g C l_{2} < K C l$
