\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}

The Correct choice is : D

Neutrons and Protons are collectively known as Neucleons because they are found in nucleus of the cell and they have almost equal mass, [ but neutron has slightly greater mass than proton ]. also, Neutrons are neutral particle with no charge on them, where as protons have positive charge on them. making nucleus positively charged altogether ~
