$A$ cyclotron is used to accelerate protons $\left({ }_{1}^{1} H\right)$,deuterons $\left({ }_{1}^{2} H\right)$,and $\alpha$-particles $\left({ }_{2}^{4} He\right)$. While exiting under similar conditions,the minimum kinetic energy $(KE)$ is gained by:

  • A
    $\alpha$-particles
  • B
    protons
  • C
    deuterons
  • D
