Solution

The correct option is A beta
Rutherford identified two types of rays emitted by radioactive substances called alpha rays and beta rays. When he passed these rays through different objects, he observed that alpha rays couldn't travel as far as the beta rays. This is why he concluded that beta rays have a higher penetrating power.
