Solution

The correct option is C cyclotron
A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator invented by Ernest O. Lawrence in $1932$ in which charged particles accelerate outwards from the center along a spiral path. The particles are held to a spiral trajectory by a static magnetic field and accelerated by a rapidly varying (radio frequency) electric field.
