Answer:

B. A cation

Explanation:

An atom is the smallest indivisible component of a matter including an element. An atom contains three particles called SUBATOMIC PARTICLES (PROTON AND NEITRON in the nucleus and ELECTRON surrounding the nucleus). The proton is positively charged while the electron is negatively charged.

The number of protons and electrons determine whether an atom will be postively charged (cation) or negatively charged (anion). In this question, an atom with 9 protons and 8 electrons will be A CATION because the protons (9) are more than the electrons (8), hence, making it a positively charged atom (cation).

N.B: The cation atom will have a +1 charge
