Answer:

D. Inside the nucleus of an atom.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged).

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a biology/chemistry question, you have to be careful that you use the right term. You must be talking about atoms. So B and C are both incorrect because the word cell is used as the main location.

What about A and D? The atom is used and those two are the ones you need to consider. A neutron gives its home address as the nucleus. It is part of the nucleus. So A is incorrect. A neutron is inside the nucleus.

That leaves with D and that's the answer.
