The closest answer is

Alpha - mass of 4 and charge of + 2; beta - no mass and charge of - 1; gamma - no mass and no charge (consists of energy)

It’s not exactly correct because a beta particle has the (small) mass of an electron (also the positron). All other choices are way off, I’d go with this one.
