     Ans: Option (iii)

    Electrons move in a circular path of fixed energy called orbits .

    As per Rutherford’s α-particle scattering experiment the nucleus is surrounded by electrons that move around the nucleus with a very high-speed in circular paths called orbits. It does not mention the energy or stability of the electrons revolving around the nucleus.
