Solution

The correct option is A

Electron


Explanation:

An atom is the smallest unit of matter that encompasses all the chemical properties of the element. An atom is composed of 3 subatomic particles known as electron, proton, and neutron.

Electron: Electrons are the negatively charged particles found outside the nucleus that revolve in specific circular orbits with a fixed energy level.

Proton: Protons are the positively charged particles present in the nucleus of the atom. Along with the Neutron, the Proton represents the atomic mass of the atom.

Neutron: Neutrons are also present in the nucleus of the atom along with the protons.

Thus, option (A) is correct.
