Explanation & Answer

The formula of magnesium nitrate is Mg(NO₃)₂. When it goes into a aquaeous solution, it provides Mg2+ and 2 of NO3- which are ions.

Ionization is when a molecule becomes charged due to the loss or gain of electrons. 

Dissociation is when a molecule breaks down into smaller parts - these smaller parts could be ions

The answer is Dissociation
