Answer:

Compound D (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

The bond energy is the highest amount the listed bond energies and this is one of the characteristics of ionic compound because usually its involves the formation of anions and cations with the former being negative and the latter being positive.

The bond is usually strong because it is involves attraction between actions and anions. It requires transfer of electron between metals and nonmetals. The metals are usually the cations (lose electron) and nonmetals are usually the anions ( they gain electron) so when they are dissolve in water they dissociate into negative and positive ions and carries electrical charges while in solid form they are insulators example is NaCl
