b) a positive metal ion and a negative nonmetal ion. 


Because generally ions of non-metal elements (such as the halogens) are negatively charged while ions of metal elements (such as the alkali earth metals) are positively charged. The differences in their changes causes strong electrostatic attraction (an ionic bond).
