A Levels Physics (9702)•9702/12/O/N/21

Explanation
Particle compositions in the Standard Model
Steps:
- Recall that fundamental particles include leptons and quarks, while hadrons are composites.
- Check A: Antineutrinos are elementary leptons, confirming it's fundamental.
- Check B: Electrons are elementary leptons, not quark composites.
- Check C and D: Neutrinos are leptons; neutrons are baryons with three quarks (udd).
Why B is correct:
- Electrons are fundamental leptons, indivisible and not formed from quarks or antiquarks per the Standard Model.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Antineutrinos are fundamental particles as neutral leptons.
- C: Neutrinos are indeed leptons, a category of fundamental fermions.
- D: Neutrons consist of three quarks: one up and two down.
Final answer: B
