Solution

The correct option is C
Velocity

The velocity of the proton changes when it enters a magnetic field. When a proton enters a uniform magnetic field it starts to move in a circular path. We know that the velocity of a particle undergoing uniform circular motion keeps on changing, as the direction does not remain constant.
