How to solve it?

Dear student, 
The given cristal structure is a body centred cubic structure.
The electrostatic force 
F=(1/4πε0)×((q1​​​​​​q2)/r2)
due to one Cs+ ion is balanced by diagonally opposite Cs+ ion.
hence the net electrostatic force on Cl- ion due to eight Cs+ ion is zero.
so the answer is option a.
Regards.
