Solution

The correct option is B The mass of electron is equal to the mass of neutron.
Characteristics of elelctrons are:
1. It is a negatively charged particle.
2. The mass of electron is 200 times smaller than the mass of neutron
The mass of electron is $9.10939 \times 10^{- 31} k g$ and that of neutron is $1.67493 \times 10^{- 27} k g$ .
3. They are basic constituent of all atom.
4. It is a constituent of cathode rays.
