Solution

The correct option is A $N a^{+}$ and $C l^{-}$
The strength of ionic bond depends on similarity in valency of combining species and size of ions.

Since, radius of ${N a}^{+} = {0.99 A}^{0}$ and ${C l}^{-} = {1.81 A}^{0}$ , the combine with maximum strength to give $N a C l -$ having strongest ionic bond.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Which combination will have the strongest ionic bond?

The correct option is A Na+ and Cl−The strength of ionic bond depends on similarity in valency of combining species and size of ions. Since, radius of Na+=0.99A0 and Cl−=1.81A0, the combine with maximum strength to give NaCl− having strongest ionic bond.Therefore, the correct option is A.
