I'm going to have to go with A Magnetic because it seems to be the only one that makes sense it can't B because electron and Electrical are the same thing its not going deflect it and C it might seem right but gravity has nothing to do with deflection so I pick Magnetic.

So your answer is A.

Answer:

Electrons re deflected by both electrical and magnetic fields.

Step-by-step explanation:

When an electron enters in magnetic field at any arbitrary angle Θ, the magnetic force experiences by electron is given by


F = q * v* B* Sin\Theta

So, electron experiences a force and deflects.

When an electron enters into electric field, the force experiences by the electron is given by


F = q * E

So, electron also experiences a force and deflects.
