Answer: A.

The space contains a magnetic field

Step-by-step explanation:

A charged particle is surrounded by electric field and exerts force on other charges in the field, attracting or repelling them.

But a charged particles in a magnetic field can escape into infinity without ever stopping due to magnetic force. We can therefore conclude that the space contains a magnetic field
