What does it mean for an atom to be ionized?

a. An atom is only considered ionized if it has *fewer* bounded electrons than protons, causing it to have a net positive charge. b. An atom is only considered ionized if it has *more* bounded electrons than protons, causing it to have a net negative charge. c. An atom is only considered ionized if it has more or fewer bounded electrons than protons, causing it to have a non-zero charge. d. An atom is only considered ionized if it has the same number of bounded electrons and protons, causing it to have a neutral, or net zero charge.
