B----------- oxide is the correct answer
Answer:
Cations are positively charged atoms and hence we need to make the atom positively charged in order to get a cation
We know that an atom is neutral as a whole, so we have equal number of electrons and protons
since we cannot mess with the number of protons in an atom, we have to do it by altering the number of electrons
If we reduce the amount of electrons in an atom, the net charge will be positive and hence a cation will be formed
Group 1a elements (the first column on the left side of the Periodic table) always release one electron to form positive ions with a charge of +1. Group 7a nonmetals (the <em>second to the last </em>column on the right side- the rightmost column are the noble gases) always desire to gain one electron to form negative ions with a charge of -1.
Since their charges are equal and opposite, they will always combine in a 1:1 ratio.

Patent - Not sure if this is much of a Chem question dou.
