The correct answer is A. True.

Sodium chloride does not have an overall charge, as it formed of charged ions Na⁺ and Cl⁻. In the formation of sodium chloride, the sodium loses its outer-shell electron to form the sodium ion or Na⁺. Chlorine takes on sodium's electron to become the ion or Cl⁻. The electrostatic attraction between the positive and negative ions holds the salt crystal together. Equal  number  of positive  and negative  charges  form neutral  NaCl.

Sodium  ion ( positively  charged)  combine with chloride  ion ( negatively charged)  to  sodium chloride which  is neural  according  to equation below.

Na⁺   +  Cl⁻    →  NaCl  (<em>neutral</em>)
