Answer:

An atomic nucleus contains most of the atom’s mass

Step-by-step explanation:

The first and second answer choices are incorrect because the nucleus has a charge -- but it is positive due to the presence of protons.

The third answer choice is incorrect because the nucleus is extremely dense and packed with all of the protons and neutrons of the atom.

The fourth answer choice is correct because protons and neutrons contain the mass of the atom.
