Which of the following particle is a fundamental particle?
-
Electron and Proton
-
Neutron
-
Quark
-
None of the above
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Quarks are fundamental particles that cannot be broken down into smaller components - they are elementary constituents of matter. Electrons are also fundamental, but protons and neutrons are composite particles made of quarks. Option A incorrectly groups fundamental (electron) with composite (proton) particles, while B is composite.
