The correct choice is

D. electron

mass of proton is 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg and has positive charge on it.

mass of neutron is slightly greater than the mass of proton. the mass of neutron is 1.675 x 10⁻²⁷ kg and has no charge on it.

mass of electron is 9.31 x 10⁻³¹ kg

comparing the masses of electron, proton, neutron and the nucleus, we see that the mass of electron is smallest.
