These are the category of hadrons that contain three quarks. This distinguishes them from mesons, which contain two (1 quark and 1 antiquark).
A
Gluons
B
Electrons
C
Leptons
D
Baryons
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Baryons are heavy subatomic particles that are made up of three quarks. Both protons and neutrons, as well as other particles, are baryons. (The other class of hadronic particle is built from a quark and an antiquark and is called a meson.) Baryons are characterized by a baryon number, B, of 1.

Detailed explanation-2: -Baryons are composite particles made of three quarks, as opposed to mesons, which are composite particles made of one quark and one antiquark. Baryons and mesons are both hadrons, which are particles composed solely of quarks or both quarks and antiquarks.
