The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The order of ionic character among the compounds is:

\[\text{AgCl} < \text{CoCl}_2 < \text{BaCl}_2 < \text{KCl}\]
The reason is that \(\text{Ag}^+\) has a pseudo-inert gas configuration, making \(\text{AgCl}\) less ionic than the other compounds listed.
