Rutherford’s atomic model has the following features: -

i. There is a positively charged centre in an atom called the nucleus. Nearly all the mass
of an atom resides inside the nucleus.

ii. The electrons revolve around the nucleus in well-defined orbits which can be
compared to solar system.

iii. The size of the nucleus is very small as compared to the size of an atom.

Hence, statement I and iii are correct t.

So, the correct option is A.
