The correct answer should be A. Atoms can be broken up into protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons can be broken up into even smaller particles but I am not sure if it has been proven that electrons can be broken up into smaller particles. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
