Answer:

Na and Cl option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ionic bond commonly occurs between a metal and non metal on combining to produce a compound.

In that case, the most appropriate choice would be to go with

option d - Na and Cl.

They combine to form common salt or NaCl.

Na ( sodium) is a metal while Cl (chlorine) is a non metal.
