The main reason that SiCl4 is easily hydrolysed as compared to CCl4 is that
(A) Si-Cl bond is weaker than C-Cl bond.
(B) SiCl4 can form hydrogen bonds.
(C) SiCl4 is covalent.
(D) Si can extend its coordination number beyond four.

The correct option (D) Si can extend its coordination number beyond four.
Explanation:
In SiCl4 vacant d–orbitals are present. So hydrolysed by co–ordination bond formation and Si expand its valency.
