In the solid-state, beryllium chloride (BeCl2) typically forms a polymer chain structure, where each beryllium atom is bonded to two chlorine atoms, and the chains extend indefinitely. This corresponds to option (A) "chain and dimeric".

In the vapor phase, however, beryllium chloride exists as discrete BeCl2 molecules, making it dimeric. So, the correct answer is (A) chain and dimeric.
