CaCl2 and BaO are a binary ionic compound, KCl is ionic compound is made of a metal element and a nonmetal element. While CHCl3carbon does 4 covalent bonds with those four atoms, one covalent bond with each, each of the four bonds is a sharing of 2 electrons, for a total of 8 electrons . Carbon starts with 4 valence shell electrons, each covalent bond brings in 1 more electron into each bond for a total of 8 electrons in carbon's valence shell (rule of 8).
Thus Option D is correct.
