Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Electrons have a negative charge.
• Option B: Neutrons have no charge (neutral).
• Option C: Protons are subatomic particles with a positive charge.
• Option D: An ion is an atom or molecule with a net electric charge (not a subatomic particle in the same sense as the others, and ions can be positive or negative, but the question asks for a subatomic particle with positive charge).

Answer:

C. Proton
