C. In ionic bonds one atom accepts electrons from another atom to achieve a stable outer shell.

Explanation: Some Atoms have positive Charges. Like Na (Sodium) has a charge of + 1 because its missing an electron, and there are Atoms with a negative charge like Chlorine, it has an extra electron so a charge of - 1. The chlorine atom transfers the extra Electron to the sodium atom. they both gain a neutral Charge.
