D Correct answer
Explanation

The electron carries a negative electric charge of -1.602 × 10^-19 coulombs. This is the elementary charge and one of the fundamental constants of nature. The negative sign indicates that electrons are attracted to positive charges and repelled by negative charges. This charge value is crucial in understanding electrostatics, electric current, and atomic structure. Option D correctly shows both the magnitude and the negative sign.
