Answer:

A: Sulfur will accept electrons.

Step-by-step explanation:

An Ionic bond is formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal.

The Metal loses ( donate) electrons to form cation ( a positively charged ion), while non-metal accept (gain) electrons to form anion ( a negatively charged ion ).

Sulfur is a non-metal therefore it accepts electrons if it forms an ionic bond with the metal. sulfur accept 2 electrons to form S2- ion

I am smart...I also took it on E2020. Pro Tip: Calibri is the superior font and green is the better highlight color. This is basically his answer but without grammatical errors.
