E.

None of the above

The correct answer is due to the presence of protons.
The proton is a subatomic particle, symbol p or p+, with a positive electric charge of +1e elementary charge and mass slightly less than that of a neutron. Since neutron has no charge, proton has +1e elementary charge, the positive charge on the nucleus is due to the presence of protons in it.
