Solution

The correct option is A
As the scattering angle increases, the number of scattered α particle decreases.

According to Rutherford's experiment observation, most of the α particles, passes through the gold foil without any deviation.

Only 1 in 8000 α particles deviate with smaller angles and very few α particles deviate with larger angles.

The observation is correctly depicted by option (B).

Hence, option (B) is correct.
