Solution

The correct options are
C Velocity
D Momentum
Each moving charged particle in a magnetic field experiences a force. The direction of force experienced by a positive charge (i.e., a proton) is given by Fleming's left hand rule. The force acting on the proton would change both velocity and momentum.
