Solution

The correct option is A Electron diffraction
Davisson-Germer experiment was conducted by two American scientists Clinton Davisson and Lester Germer, in 1927, to verify the de Broglie hypothesis that a material particle posses wave nature. They experimentally proved the wave nature of electron through diffraction of electron beam by a nickel crystal.
