Element $\mathrm{X}$ forms a chloride with the formula ${\mathrm{XCl}}_2,$ which is a solid with a high melting point. $\mathrm{X}$ would most likely be in the same group in the periodic table as

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as

Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A : Beryllium has less negative value of reduction potential compared to the other alkaline earth metals

Reason R : Beryllium has large hydration energy due to small size of ${\mathrm{Be}}^{2+}$but relatively large value of atomisation enthalpy.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
