Solution

The correct option is B β-particles
Gamma radiations and X-rays are both electromagnetic waves, and they cannot deflect in electric or magnetic field.
The deflection of β-particles is more than that of a-particle since a β-particle has charge density higher than that of α-particle.
Correct answer: (b) β-rays
