The correct answer is:
**A. Electric fields of charged subatomic particles.**
Atoms interact primarily through the electromagnetic force, which arises from the electric fields created by charged subatomic particles, such as protons and electrons. The interactions between these charged particles result in various atomic forces, including ionic and covalent bonding, as well as van der Waals forces in neutral atoms and molecules.
