Solution

The correct option is C

Electron


Atoms lose or gain electrons to achieve stability. Most reactive elements readily lose or gain electrons. So, it is easy to remove or add an electron.

The constituents of the nucleus are very strongly bound and it's hard to add or remove its constituents.
