The correct option is C

cation, anion


Metals have the ability to lose electrons easily forming positively charged ions. These ions are called cations.
For example: Na (s)Na++1e
Non-metals have the ability to gain electrons easily forming negatively charged ions. These are called anions.
For example: Cl (g)+1eCl
