a.

Sorry if you picked "a" .

The proton has a relative plus one charge. The proton has a charge on an absolute scale of 1.6021773 x 10-19 Coulombs. This is exactly the same magnitude but opposite sign as the charge on an electron.

b.

Sorry if you picked "b".

The neutron has a zero charge.

c.

Good if you picked "c".

You are right. The electron has a relative minus one charge. The electron has an absolute charge of -1.6021773 x 10-19 Coulombs.This is exactly the same magnitude but opposite sign as the charge on a proton.

d.

Sorry if you picked "d".

All nuclei have a plus charge. The magnitude will be a multiple of the charge on a proton. The atomic number determines the multiple. Hydrogen has +1 charge on the nucleus while sodium has a +11 nucleus.
