Solution

The correct option is A electrons
Rutherford after his α-particles experiment proposed that:
$∙$ the mass and positive charge is present at the centre, i.e., in the nucleus of an atom.
$∙$ electrons revolve around the positively charged nucleus in circular paths.
His model resembled the planetary model. He did not specify the arrangement of electrons in each orbit.
