None of the above.  There are 12 fundamental FERMIONS (of which we know).
The photon, along with W,Z, gluons, and graviton, are BOSONS, which are
distinct fundamental particles which mediate the forces between the 12
fundamental fermions.  

Each fermion also has an antimatter partner.

There are other particles in the zoo, none of which have been observed, but
which are expected to exist based on various theories of varying credibility.
These include the Higgs (gives mass), axion (prevents strong CP violation),
Supersymmetric partners to all of the above (to control the masses of some of
the other particles), Familons (to explain the seemingly broken family
symmetry), X and Y bosons (useful for Grand Unification), right-handed W and Z
(so that parity is not violated in the unbroken theory), and so on, ad nauseum.

Huh?
