Solution

The correct option is B

Cathode ray tube experiment


During the cathode ray tube experiment, a ray was emitted from the anode. This ray was named as anode ray. This was later found to be consisting of protons.

Alpha particle scattering experiment led to the discovery of the nucleus. Millikan's experiment was used to find out mass to charge ratio of an electron.
