Solution

The correct option is C a strong ionic bond is formed
Ionic reactions are favoured by metal atoms with low ionization potential and non metals with high electron affinity. When an element with a very low ionization potential reacts with an element of very high electron affinity, ionic reaction is highly favoured and a strong ionic bond is formed.
