Solution

The correct option is B NH4Cl

Ammonium chloride is made by the combination of ammonium ion (NH+4), which is a polyatomic ion having one unit positive charge and a chloride ion (Cl), which is a monoatomic ion having unit negative charge.

By criss-crossing the charges of ammonium and chloride ions, the chemical formula of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) is obtained.
