None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -An electron is a subatomic particle that is negatively charged. As opposite charges attract, negatively charged electrons are drawn to positively charged protons. Electrons are referred to as negative because of their behavior in an electric field.
Detailed explanation-2: -Anions (or negatively charged ions)
Detailed explanation-3: -The charge of an electron is considered to be negative by convention and this charge is equal and opposite to the charge of a proton, which is considered to be positive by convention. The net charge of an ion is not zero because its total number of electrons is unequal to its total number of protons.
Detailed explanation-4: -An electron with a positive charge is known as a positron. It would fly out from the hydrogen atom, because it would be repelled by the proton.
