Solution

The correct option is C Charge
A photon is a particle which has zero charge and zero mass and is denoted by $γ$ . The energy of photon is
$E = h v$
Here, $v =$ frequency and $h =$ Planck's constant.
The momentum of the photon is $h / v$ and its velocity is the velocity of light $(c)$ .
So, the charge is not the property of photons.
