Solution

The correct option is C electrons
Electrons are the only ones removable from an object whereas protons and neutrons are not. Nucleons are those present in nucleus which are protons and neutrons themselves.

Protons which are positively charged cannot be added to an object. But we can make the object positively charged by removing negatively charged electrons which then makes the net charge positive.
