The best conclusion about Particles A and B, given that Particle A has very little mass in comparison to Particle B and both particles are in the same atom, is:

**Particle A orbits the nucleus, and Particle B is located in the nucleus.**

In an atom, protons and neutrons (which make up the nucleus) have much greater mass than electrons. Typically, electrons (Particle A) orbit the nucleus (where protons and neutrons, Particle B, are located).
