The answer is B, but I'll say why it can't be the others
The answer cannot be A. Only protons and neutrons are inside the nucleus, held together by nuclear attraction
The answer cannot be C. Protons are positive, neutrons are neutral, and electrons have a negative charge.
The answer cannot be D. If electrons were attached to the positive charge of neutrons, then they would likely be physically attached to them as well. And since only protons and neutrons, not electrons, are found in the nucleus, this is impossible.
So the only answer left is B, and yes, electrons orbit around the nucleus in the space surrounding the nucleus.
By the way, my rule of thumb is that if 2 answers in a multiple choice question contradict each other, then one of them is likely the answer. This doesn't work all of the time, but I find it useful when I am completely guessing.
And lastly, it is true that in college you may learn differently, but at least for now this is the right answer.

Trick question. It is said that an electron and a proton make up a neutron. Therefore, they are found with protons in the nucleus. However, electrons orbit the nucleus. Take your pick. Consider whether or not your instructor wants the obvious or is being tricky. I suggest you choose the obvious orbit.

A
B, the things that surround the nucleas is air, but protons rotate around the nucleas
C, protons have a possitve charge
D, i have no clue what that could apply to
so A is definately the answer

Wow! None of those. But your teacher wants you to answer:
B
You'll find out in college why I say "none of the above." Or, check the link.
