Answer:

D. Particle A orbits the nucleus, and Particle B is located in the nucleus​

Step-by-step explanation:

Here since both particles are of the same atom and particle A is much lighter we can infer that Particle A is electron because electrons are much lighter than protons which are Particle B in this case. Thus, particle A orbits nucleus as an electron does and particle B is in nucleus where protons are.
