Correct Option: C

The electron is a subatomic particle with a negative elementary electric charge. An electron has a mass that is approximately 1/1836 that of the proton. The intrinsic angular momentum (spin) of the electron is a half-integer value in units of h, which means that it is a fermion. Like all matter, they have quantum mechanical properties of both particles and waves, so they can collide with other particles and can be diffracted like light. The electron was identified as a particle in 1897 by J. J. Thomson and his team of British physicists.
