Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the three main subatomic particles in an atom: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Understand the charges associated with each particle: protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge (neutral), and electrons have a negative charge.
Identify that the question asks for the positively charged subatomic particles, so focus on the particle with a positive charge.
Recognize that protons are the positively charged particles within the nucleus of an atom.
Conclude that the correct answer is 'Protons' because they carry a positive charge.
