b
An atom with five protons, five neutrons, and six electrons
An atom with five protons, six neutrons, and five electrons
An atom with six protons, five neutrons, and five electrons
An atom with six protons, six neutrons, and five electrons.
с
d

An atom with five protons, six neutrons, and five electrons

Explanation:

Of the three subatomic particles, only protons and electrons have a charge. Protons have a charge of 1+, while electrons have a charge of 1-. In order to be considered neutral, there should be an equal amount of positive and negative charge to balance or cancel each other out. Therefore, you are looking for an answer choice that has an equal number of protons and electrons.
