Solution

The correct options are
A

Gaining electrons


B

Losing electrons


C

Sharing electrons


All elements try to achieve octet configuration by following three ways:
1. Sharing of electrons
2. Losing electrons
3. Gaining electrons

Sharing of electrons forms a covalent bond. Ex. H2

Loosing and gaining of electrons forms an ionic bond (Ex. NaCl). Na lost an electron to form Na+ and Cl gained an electron to form Cl
