D. Carbon (C) and chlorine (CI)

Answer 1

B. Lithium (Li) and iodine (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that is formed between a metallic element and a non metallic element. The positive charge of the metallic ion is attracted to the negative charge of the non metallic ion to form an ionic bond.

According to the options given in this question, lithium and iodine will form an IONIC bond because lithium is a cation (+ve ion) while iodine is an anion (-ve).
