Detailed Solution

The covalent or ionic nature of a chemical bond can be predicted using Fajans' rule. 
BaCO3 is much less soluble than MgCO3.
The order of solubility of carbonates is: 
BeCO3>MgCO3>CaCO3>SrCO3>BaCO3
This can only be explained on the basis of lattice energy and hydration energy.
Hence, the option C is correct.
