Both Na\(^+\) and K\(^+\) have

  1. Atendency to give electrons
  2. Bnegative reduction potential
  3. Ctendency to accept electrons
  4. Dnegative oxidation potential

Explanation

Both Na⁺ and K⁺ have negative standard reduction potentials (-2.71 V and -2.92 V, respectively) because Na and K readily lose electrons to form stable cations, making their reverse reduction process unfavorable.
