Detailed Solution

Path C is undeviated. Therefore, it is of neutron's path. From Fleming's left hand rule magnetic force on positive charge will be leftwards and on negative charge is rightwards. Therefore, track D is of electron. Among A and B on one is of proton and the other is of α-particle. Further,

r=mvBq or rmq

Since,

 mqα>mqp rα>rp 

or track B is of α-particle.
