Solution

The correct option is A Spiral
According to classical theory, any electron moving on a curved path emits energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The orbiting electrons would therefore lose energy, move inwards along spiral path and eventually fall into the collection of protons and neutrons in the atomic center(nucleus) as shown in figure.
