Answer:

a. Aluminum nitride

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound AlN is a salt made up of Al and N.

Analyzing the oxidation states of each element, we can see that Aluminum acts with 3+ (because it has only one oxidation state), so Nitrogen need to interact with an oxidation state of 3-, for the molecule to be neutral.

Due to the nitrogen acts with 3- the name of the salt will be Aluminum nitride.
