Solution

The correct option is B beta rays
- Alpha rays are positively charged and hence they get attracted towards the negatively charged plate.

- Beta rays are negatively charged and hence they get attracted towards the positively charged plate.

- X-rays and gamma rays are electrically neutral in nature and hence they do not deviate at all.
