The correct answer is (d), electrons are in probable cloud location.

An atom is made up of three fundamental particles, electron, proton and neutron. Proton and neutron are located in the nucleus, while the electrons orbit the nucleus in relative large orbit, however the exact position of the electron in the shall is highly unpredictable, therefore they are assumed to be in probable cloud location where the probability of finding an electron is very high.
