Options
Has high melting point
Has low melting point
Conducts electricity in molten state
Occurs as solid

Solution
Has low melting point
Explanation -
A chemical compound formed by the gain and loss of electrons is called an ionic compound. Ionic compounds occur as solids, conduct electricity in the molten state and has a high melting point.
