Answer: D) salt, NaCl

Explanation: Bonded Ions are held together by the electrostatic force of attarction between the oppositely charged ions.

Thus Sodium Chloride is the only otion out of the given compounds that forms a network of bonded ions.

Sugar doesnot form this work becuase it gets breaks down ino CO2 and H2O which are uncharged molecules.

Methane is a molecule with covalent bonding thus cannot form ion bonded network.

Network of bonded ions is established between two atoms due to transfer of electrons from one atom to the other.
therefore,
Sodium chloride is formed from a network of bonded ions.
hence the right answer is D) salt, NaCl
