Solution

The correct option is B wave only
An electron has a dual nature, particle and wave, but it behaves one or the other according to the nature of the experimental condition. It cannot at the same time behave as both. According to the Schrodinger model, nature of electron in an atom is only as a wave.

Hence, the correct option is B.
