Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

It would not be gain because it would say +6 instead of -2. Having a -2 charge means it wants to loose 2 electrons so it can form a full shell of 8 electrons. It wants to be inert (stable).

- Hope that helps! Please let me know if you need further explanation.
