b) Hydrogen is the cation and chlorine is the anion

As, I think Hydrogen has positively charged ion and chlorine has negative charged ions.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Anion : It is the negative charged ion which has higher number of electrons than protons.

Cation : It is the positive charged ion which has higher number of protons then electron.

They have opposite electrical charge so they gets attracted towards each other.
