The correct option is C protons, electrons
Atoms consists of three basic partcles which are protons, electrons, and neutrons.
The nucleus which is present at the centre of the atom contains protons (positively charged particles) and neutrons (neutral particles). Electrons which are negatively charged revolve around the nucleus.
Therefore, in an atom, positively charged particles called protons are present at the centre and electrons revolve around it.
