Answer: Option B

Explanation: Electrons, protons and neutrons basically make an atom.

Neutron has no charge - electrically neutral

Protron carries a positive charge

Electron carries a negative charge.

The gain or loss of electrons determines whether an object becomes positively or negatively charged. If there is gain in electron, object becomes negatively charged; if otherwise, it becomes positively charged.

So, it is a function of electron transfer.

The answer is option B
