It is very difficult for an atom to accept a proton. It can only be done under very special circumstances. So A and C are both incorrect. I don't see how D is possible. The atom does lose 1 electron, but how it gets 21 is think air.
The answer is B which is exactly what happens.
Newton's 2nd law says: Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .
I wrote Force and acceleration in bold letters because
they're both vectors ... they have size and direction.
The equation is saying that the Force and the acceleration
are both in the same direction.
