Detailed Solution

We know that the acceleration of a proton can be mathematically represented using the equation:

 a=qEm

From the above expression, acceleration is inversely proportional to mass. Since the mass of the electron is lesser than that of a proton, the acceleration of an electron is greater than that of an electron. 

The correct option is A
