Solution

The correct option is D BaCl2
The ability of hydrolysis of halides of particular group decreases down the group. As we move down, the ionization ability of the cation decreases. So, the ability of hydrolysis decreases.
So, in the given halides BaCl2 is least hydrolysed as Ba is the bottom most element in the group.
Hence, option D is correct.
