Option C. Cs+ and N3-

Cs+ is a positive ion (has positive charge) and N3- is a negative ion (has negative charge).

The electrostatic force arises among particles with charges.

When the charges are of the same sign the electrostatic, force is of repulsion; and when the charges are of different sign, the force is of attraction.
