Solution

The correct option is A Ionic substance
Strontium lies in alkaline group so the valency is +2 and has 2 electrons in its valence shell. Chlorine lies in halogen group and has -1 valency and has 7 electrons. Therefore, electrons are transferred from chlorine to strontium. So ionic bond is formed.
