If an atom gains electrons, it becomes a B. negatively charged ion. 

Answer : The correct option is, (B) negatively charged ion.

Explanation :

A neutral atom is an atom which has same number of protons and electrons.

There are two types of ions which are positive ion and negative ion.

When a neutral atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion.

When a neutral atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion.

Hence, if an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion.
