Electrostatic force is the interaction between bodies that have electrical charges

a and b

The neutrons are particles that have no charge, therefore there are no electrostatic forces acting

c

Electrons are negatively charged particles and when they interact with each other they repel because they have the same charge

d

Electrons are particles with negative charge and protons with a positive charge, and when interacting with each other they attract because they have different charge
