Solution

The correct option is A Sodium salt
Sodium chloride, a salt of sodium (also known as rock salt), is formed mainly due to the evaporation of salty water (such as sea water) which contains dissolved $NaCl$ ions.

Drying up of ancient seas and other salt water bodies is one of the main sources of rock salt.
