Answer:

B. Wave-like way with a pattern that is wave-like

Step-by-step explanation:

The double slit experiment when performed with electromagnetic waves, gives a pattern of light lines and dark areas, equally spaced.

In the case of electrons we must use Broglie's duality principle that states that all things have the characteristics of particles and waves together. The characteristic observed in a given experiment depends on the type of experiment, using the relationship

p = h /λ

Where p is the amount of motion of the particle and λ the wavelength associated with this particle

In consequence of the previous one to the screen it should arrive as a wave with a wave type pattern

Let's review the answer.

A) False. The pattern is wave type

B) True. The whole process is with undulating characteristics

C) False. A wave arrives

D) False. A wave arrives
