Correct answer: B. B,C and D only

A. Beryllium oxide is amphoteric in nature.
B. Beryllium carbonate is kept in the atmosphere of ${CO}_{2}$ because it is thermally less stable.

${BeCO}_{3} ⇌ BeO + {CO}_{2}$

C. Beryllium sulphate is readily soluble in water due to high degree of hydration.

D. Beryllium shows anomalous behaviour due to small size, high ionization energy and high value of $ϕ$ (polarising power).

So, the correct statement is B, C and D only.
