Solution

The correct option is B $B e C l_{2}$
When a mixture of beryllium oxide (X), carbon and chlorine is heated, a mixture of beryllium dichloride (Y) and carbon monoxide is obtained.
$B e O + C + C l_{2} \to B e C l_{2} + C O$
The hydrolysis of beryllium dichloride gives beryllium hydroxide (Z) and $H C l$ .
$B e C l_{2} + 2 H_{2} O \to B e (O H)_{2} + 2 H C l$
Beryllium dichloride is electron deficient and is found in polymeric chains.
