Answer:

B. A negative particle outside the nucleus

Step-by-step explanation:

Electrons are very small particles orbiting outside of the nucleus of an atom. They carry negative charges.

The nucleus only contains protons and neutrons. Protons are positive, and neutrons have no charge (i.e. neutral)
