Answer» C. neutral particles
Explanation: Like gamma rays and neutrons, X-rays are electrically neutral. They have neither a positive nor a negative charge. They cannot be accelerated or made to change direction by a magnet or electrical field. In contrast, charged subatomic particles comprise light charged particles (electrons and positrons) and heavy charged particles (protons, alpha particles and heavier ions).
