neutrons
D
solution
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The negatively charged subatomic particle is known as an electron.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are three subatomic particles: protons, neutrons and electrons. Two of the subatomic particles have electrical charges: protons have a positive charge while electrons have a negative charge.

Detailed explanation-3: -An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle that can be either bound to an atom or free (not bound). An electron that is bound to an atom is one of the three primary types of particles within the atom–the other two are protons and neutrons. Together, electrons, protons and neutrons form an atom’s nucleus.

Detailed explanation-4: -A charged particle is called an ion. Any atom or group of atoms that bears one or more positive charge is called cation and one or more negative charge is called anion.

Detailed explanation-5: -Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge. The charge on the proton and electron are exactly the same size but opposite. Neutrons have no charge.
