Solution

The correct option is C one cation and one anion
$C - C l$ bond has electronegativity difference.

$C l$ being more electronegative than carbon, pulls the $e^{-}$ towards it.

Therefore, carbon will have a positive charge acting as cation and chlorine will have a negative charge acting as an anion.

Option D is correct.
