Answer:

B) A Mg atom donates two electrons to a Cl atom.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the formation of magnesium chloride, magnesium loses two electrons to form a stable cation. One chlorine atom requires one electron to form a stable anion. Hence, two chlorine atoms combine with one magnesium by accepting one electron each.
