Solution

The correct option is D cation
When an acid reacts with a base, it forms salt along with water and this reaction is known as neutralisation reaction.
In this reaction, anion from an acid combines with the cation of a base to form the salt.
Example:
$NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) \to NaCl(aq) + H_{2} O(l)$

In $NaCl$ , ${Na}^{+}$ ion is from the base while the ${Cl}^{-}$ ion is from the acid.
