I believe the answer is A (it was on another Brainly question as well).
The loss or gain of electrons
Explanation:
The loss or gain of electrons determines if an atom will become a cation or anion.
A cation is a positively charge ion
An anion is a negatively charged ion.
In an atom, we have sub-atomic particles:
Protons are the positively charged particles
Electrons are negatively charged
Neutrons carry no charges
Only electrons can be lost or gained in chemical processes that forms cations and anions.
When a neutral atom gains electron, it has more electrons than protons. This makes it negatively charged and we call it an anion.
When a neutral atom loses an electron, the number of protons is more. We call it a cation.

Answer:
Sea breeze moves from the areas of higher pressure on the water in the direction of the areas of lower pressure on land.
Explanation:
Sea breeze moves from the areas of higher pressure on the water in the direction of the areas of lower pressure on land. Whereas, land breeze blows from the areas of higher pressure on land to the areas of lower pressure on water.
Answer:A. An increase in temperature increases the reaction rate.
Explanation:because of the disproportionately large increase in the number of high energy collisions. It is only these collisions (possessing at least the activation energy for the reaction) which result in a reaction.
