A
Proteins, carbs, & lipids
B
Protons, neutrons, & electrons
C
Carbon, oxygen, & hydrogen
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Given that these particles make up atoms, they are often referred to as subatomic particles. 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-2: -A lithium atom contains 3 protons in its nucleus irrespective of the number of neutrons or electrons. Notice that because the lithium atom always has 3 protons, the atomic number for lithium is always 3. The mass number, however, is 6 in the isotope with 3 neutrons, and 7 in the isotope with 4 neutrons.
