Detailed Solution

Particles A and B have negative charges because they are being deflected towards the positive plate of the electrostatic field. Particle C has positive charge because it is being deflected towards the negative plate. 

Deflection of charged particle in time t in y-direction

h=0×t+12at2=12qEmt2       i.e.,   hq/m

As the particle C suffers maximum deflection in y-direction, so it has highest charge to mass (q/m) ratio.
