Solution

The correct option is B Electron
Solution: The atom mainly consists of three components: Electron (negatively charged), proton ( positively charged ) and neutron (neutral ). The charge for both electron and proton are equal in magnitude.
So, less the mass of the particle greater will be the ratio of charge and mass.
Therefore, charge to mass ratio is,
Neutron< Alpha particle < Proton < Electron.
Hence, the correct option is (B).
