Detailed Solution

According to Fajan’s rule, as the charge on cation increase its size decreases. As a result its tendency to polarise anion increases. This brings more and more covalent character to electrovalent compounds.∵  Among AlCl3,LaCl3,MgCl2  and CsCl size of Al3+  is smallest.∴ Al3+ polarises anion to highest extent.∴ AlCl3  has maximum covalent character.
