Hi,

Since the question is incomplete, I can only tell you that the answer is not a, b, or c. The easiest way to go about this problem is to find the element in the periodic table. If the ion is is negatively (-) charge, go to the right by that many space (if 2- then you go over 2 spaces). If the ion is positively (+) charge, go left. You can also google your ion to check too.
