I think that you didn't copy the answers correctly, because 1 and 2 are the same, and 3 and 4 are also the same here.
Anyways, the answer which is correct is that an electron has a charge of -1, and a proton has a charge of +1.
Electrons are negatively charged, whereas protons are positively charged. Neutrons are neutral.
