Electrical current is:
A
the flow of neutrons
B
the flow of ions
C
the flow of electrons
D
the flow of charge
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Electric Current is the flow of electrons through a wire or solution. In a solid the electrons are passed from one positively charged metallic atom to next but in solution the electron is carried by the ions present in the solution. A solution capable of carrying charge is called an electrolyte.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hence, we can say the electric current consists of the flow of positive charges.

Detailed explanation-3: -The flow of electrons is termed electron current. Electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive. Conventional currentor simply current, behaves as if positive charge carriers cause current flow.
