Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

positive protons in the nucleus repel each other.

note-Of the four fundamental forces in the universe, the strong force is just that, the strongest. It is found in the nucleus and it holds the nucleus together since positive protons in the nucleus repel each other as expected due to the law of attraction.
