Solution

The correct option is B Velocity
When a proton enters a uniform magnetic field, it starts to move in a circular manner. We know that the velocity of the particle changes when it undergoes circular motion as the direction is always changing. Hence, the velocity of the proton changes when it enters into a magnetic field.
