Answer:

a. neutron

Step-by-step explanation:

A neutral atom has the same number of protons and electrons because in order for it to be a neutral atom the charges must be the same.

a neutron has no charge therefore it can be different then the number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom as it won't affect the charge.
