    c) The electron configuration of the ions will match that of a noble gas

    Explanation:

    The electron configuration of a noble gas is gives it the lowest energy.

    a) and d) are wrong. The odd or even number of electrons don't necessarily make an ion more stable.

    b) is wrong. The ions will not have the electron configuration of a halogen.
