Answer:
Option B. Sodium
Explanation:
In the formation of NaCl, sodium loses and electron while chlorine receives the electron as illustrated below:
Na —> Na+ + e- ....... (1)
Cl + e- —> Cl- ......... (2)
Now, combining equation 1 and 2 we have:
Na + Cl + e- —> Na+ + Cl- + e-
Cancelling the electron from both side, we obtained:
Na + Cl —> Na+Cl-
From the above illustration, we see clearly that sodium loses electron
