c. all substances are written as ionic compounds bonded together.
d. all substances are labeled with the oxidation states of the atoms.

Explanation:

In a complete ionic equation, strong electrolytes (ionic substances that dissociate completely in solution) are written as separate ions. This shows the actual species present in the solution during a chemical reaction.

Answer:

A. All ionic substances are written as separate ions in solution.
