Answer:

D.) It has a negative charge and is located in orbitals around the nucleus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Electrons always have a negative charge. Since electrons can be shared or donated/received, they must be located in the orbitals around the nucleus. Protons, which have a positive charge, and neutrons, which are neutral, are located in the nucleus.
