Answer:

D. 2,1,2,1 ​

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the reaction is; 2AgNO3 + BeCl2 + ---------》2AgCl + Be(NO3)2

The rule applied in balancing chemical reaction equation is that the number of atoms of each element on the reactants side must be the same as the number of atoms of the same element on the products sides.

If this rule is properly applied to the reaction between silver nitrate and beryllium chloride to form silver chloride and beryllium nitrate , the coefficients in the equation are; 2,1,2,1
