protons: negative; electrons: positive; neutrons: neutral

Answer 1

Here's one way to remember

\[\large {\color{red}{\text{pro}}}\text{tons are }{\color{red}{\text{pro}}}\text{ductive.}\\ \large \text{When you're }{\color{red}{\text{pro}}}\text{ductive, you are POSITIVE.}\]

so protons are positively charged


--------------------------------------------------


\[\large {\color{red}{\text{electr}}}\text{ons are }{\color{red}{\text{electr}}}\text{ifying.}\\ \large \text{When you get }{\color{red}{\text{electr}}}\text{icuted,}\\
\large \text{it hurts and it is a NEGATIVE experience}\]

electrons are negatively charged

--------------------------------------------------

\[\large {\color{red}{\text{neutr}}}\text{ons are }{\color{red}{\text{neutr}}}\text{al.}\]

neutrons are neutral ---> they have no charge

Answer 2

So its C
