Detailed Solution

SiCl62does not exist

Because smaller Si cannot hold six big Cl ions due to steric hindrance SiCl62 is not possible.Because silicon has abundant d-ordinals, it can increase its coordination number beyond four SiCl62 therefore exists. Contrarily, since C's valence shell lacks any vacant d-orbitals, it is unable to increase its coordination number past four. 

Hence correct option is A.
