Solution

The correct option is A positive electrode
Cathode rays are a beam of fast-moving electrons. Electrons are atomic particles which are negatively charged. Charges of opposite nature always attract each other. Because there is attraction between electrons and a positive electrode, cathode rays are deflected towards positive electrode
