The correct response is:
**Potassium donates an electron to fluorine.**
In the formation of potassium fluoride (KF), potassium, which is an alkali metal, donates one electron to fluorine, which is a halogen. This transfer of an electron forms positively charged potassium ions (K⁺) and negatively charged fluoride ions (F⁻), resulting in an ionic bond between the two ions.
