Detailed Solution

Across the period, as we move from Li→Be→B→C, the electronegativity increases and hence the electronegativity difference between the element and Cl decreases and accordingly, the covalent character increases.

Thus, LiCl < BeCl₂ < BCl₃ < CCl₄ is the correct order of covalent bond character.
