The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Which anion would bond with K+ in a 1: 1 ratio to form a neutral ionic compound?

a)

b)  

c)  

d)  

b)  

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.  

Here potassium is having an oxidation state of +1 called as  cation and thus is an anion must have an oxidation state of -1 if they have to combine in 1: 1 ratio to  give neutral ionic compound.

Thus the anion has to be which combines with in 1: 1 ratio to give

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.

its first and third is your answer i did the qustion the fourth isnt right
