Answer : Option C) The Octet Rule

Explanation : Atoms have a tendency to complete their outer energy level. This is known as Octet Rule.

The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb which reflects the observation, that atoms of main-group elements tends to combine in such a way that each atom gets eight electrons in its valence shell, which gives it the same electron configuration as that of a noble gas.

In short, the tendency of an atom to fill its valence shell and attain a stable state it acquires or donates the electron is called as octet rule.

Answer:

Acid ammonium carbonate // Ammonium bicarbonate.

Explanation:

Hello, a 4 is missing in the fist H, thus:

$NH_4HCO_3$

The presence of the hydrogen between the ammonium and the carbonates characterizes the salt as an acid salt, so you could name it as acid ammonium carbonate or ammonium bicarbonate (similar to the sodium bicarbonate which is $NaHCO_3)$ .
