Which of the following is true with regard to sodium and potassium?
A
The both have three outer shell electrons.
B
They both have filled orbitals.
C
They tend to form anions.
D
They tend to form cations.

Sodium and potassium  tend to form cations. Therefore, the correct option is option D among all the given options.

An atom or molecule is said to be an ion if a number of the valence electrons have been acquired or lost, providing it a net negative or positive electrical charge. In other terms, a chemical species has an unbalanced ratio of protons (positive charge particles) to electrons (negatively charged particles).

Because there are more protons than electrons in a given species, cations are ions with a net positive charge. The equation for a cation is denoted by a superscript that includes the amount of the charge and the symbol "+" after the formula. If present, a number comes before the plus sign. If there is simply a "+" there, the fee is +1. Sodium and potassium  tend to form cations.

Therefore, the correct option is option D.
