Detailed Solution

Concept- To solve this problem, you must understand that the charge of the proton and electron is the same and that the neutron is neutral. Knowing this will solve your problem, and you will receive the correct response. A proton is a particle with the symbol p or p+, a positive charge of +e, and a slightly smaller mass than a neutron. Protons and neutrons, each with a mass of about one AMU. The electron is a subatomic particle represented by the symbol  e− or β−. One elementary charge is the electrical charge that is negative. The neutron is a subatomic particle with a weight slightly greater than that of a proton and a representation of n or no.
Atoms' nuclei are made up of protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons behave similarly inside the nucleus, and because they both have a mass of approximately one atomic mass unit, they are both referred to as nucleons. The neutron has a mass that is approximately  11836 that of the proton.
An electron's charge is  −e, which is negative. A neutron has no charge; it is neutral.
Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
