Solution

The correct option is D One cation and one anion
The tendency for heterolytic cleavage is determined by the electronegativity difference between the atoms joined by the bond.
In CCl there is much electronegative difference between C & Cl and hence CCl bond will undergoes heterolytic cleavage.
