Solution

The correct option is B Na+
Sodium-ion Na+ has the same electron configuration as a neon atom.

Both are isoelectronic species with 10 electrons and the electronic configuration 1s22s22p6

Sodium has electronic configuration 1s22s22p63s1.

It loses one electron to give Na+ ion with electronic configuration of Ne.

Hence, the correct option is A.
