<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are 3 subatomic particles present in an atom. They are: protons, electrons and neutrons.

  • Protons: They carry positive charger and are found in nucleus.
  • Electrons: They carry negative charge and are found around the nucleus.
  • Neutrons: They dos not carry any charge and are found in nucleus.

An ion is formed when an atom looses or gains electron.

  • When an atom looses electrons, it will form a positive ion known as cation.
  • When an atom gains electrons, it will form a negative ion known as anion.

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.
