Solution

The correct option is B Ionic
An ionic bond is formed by the transfer of an electron from one atom to another. The atom that loses electron becomes a cation (positively charged ion) and the atom that gains electron becomes an anion (negatively charged ion). Here, A becomes cation while B becomes anion.
