C is not correct.
Check the charges of each of those particles, and try again.

NO!!!!
A neutron has no charge.
An electron is negative the same amount that a proton is positive.
A whole atom has exactly the same number of protons as it has electrons.
Therefore a whole atom, H or He or Fe or any atom is NEUTRAL.
If it loses or gains electrons, it is then an ION
