Answer:
C) protons
Explanation:
The atom of most elements have proton and neutron located in the nucleus while the electron resides in the outer part of an atom.
The proton are usually positively charge and tends to repel one another in the nucleus of an atom. The reason for the repel of the proton is the positively charged nature. The neutron has no charge because they are neutral. The neutron are usually heavier than the proton . The sum of the proton and neutron contributes mostly to the mass of an atom. The electron that revolves and reside at the outer part of an atom is negatively charge.
The picture above is a representation of how the proton, electron and neutron is located in an atom.

A carbon which is attached to four different atoms or group of atoms with different environment is called as Chiral Carbon or Asymmetric Carbon.
Non-<span>superimposable:
</span> The mirror image (molecule) of chiral carbon cotaining compounds are Non.Superimposable on each other. They are called enantiomers of each other.
Polarized Light and Chiral Carbon:
When a polarized light is allowed to fall on either enantiomer of chiral compound, it is rotated other clockwise or anti-clockwise.
Examples:
Below are three axamples of compounds containing chiral carbon.
