Alkaline earth metals contain bi positive \left(\mathrm{H}^{2+}\right) ions is the compounds here -

i. charge on cation ire +2 is constant
ii. Halide present \mathrm{\left(x^{-}\right)} is also constant

So, the covalent character depends on the sire of alkaline earth metal. As we more down the group, size of metal ion increases.

\mathrm{Be}^{2+}<\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}<\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}<\mathrm{Sr}^{2+}<\mathrm{Ba}^{2+}

So, \mathrm{Be}^{2+} readily forms covalent compounds.

Hence option 4 is correct.
