Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Except for bryllium halides, all other halides of group 2 elememts are ionic ini nature and their ionic character increases as the size o the metal ion increases. As the ionic character increases (or the covalent character decreases), the tendency to behave as strong electrolyte also increase and , hence the tendency towards hydrolysis decreases
