Solution
The correct option is A Electrovalent bond
Metals have a tendency to lose electrons and non-metals tend to gain them. In a compound like NaCl, Sodium (Na) loses an electron to Chlorine (Cl) and forms a bond known as an ionic bond (also known as an electrovalent bond). In this type of bond, electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another.
