Answer»

Right choice is (d) A positively CHARGED ion

To elaborate: CATIONS and anions are both ions. The difference between a cation and an anion is the net electrical CHARGE of the ion. Ions are atoms/ molecules those who have gained or lost one or more VALENCE electrons giving the ion a net positive or negative charge. Cations are ions with a net positive charge.
