Solution

The correct option is C 1.6e
Charge quantization is the principle that the charge of any object is an integer multiple of the elementary charge. Thus, an object's charge can be exactly 0 e, or exactly +3e, − 3e, 2e, etc., but not, say, - 1.2e, or +1.6e, etc.
Here, e is the charge on a single electron.
