Answer:

Student C: A big greedy dog stealing a bone from a smaller one

Explanation:

Unlike covalent bonds, where atoms share electrons, in an ionic bond, an electron is completely snatched away from the less electronegative element, which causes it to form into a cation and the element that gained the electron into an anion. So a big greedy dog stealing away a bone completely from a smaller dog is applicable here as a valid analogy.
