Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

Neutral carbon-12 (or any carbon atom) has 6 electrons with a total negative charge of 6e- orbiting a nucleus with a total positive charge of 6e+, so that the total net charge is zero. The nucleus is made up of 6 protons, each with a positive charge of e+, and 6 neutrons, each with zero charge.

sorry if i am wrong
