C
Neutron
D
Photon
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the subatomic particles listed in the options: Electron, Proton, Neutron, and Photon.
Recall the basic properties of each subatomic particle: Electrons have a negative charge and are found outside the nucleus, Protons have a positive charge and are found in the nucleus, Neutrons have no charge and are also found in the nucleus, and Photons are particles of light with no charge and are not part of the atomic structure.
Focus on the requirement that the particle must be found in the nucleus and have a positive charge.
Eliminate options that do not meet both criteria: Electrons are outside the nucleus, Neutrons have no charge, and Photons are not part of the nucleus.
Conclude that the subatomic particle that is found in the nucleus and has a positive charge is the Proton.
