In the Thomson experiment for finding $e/m$ for electrons,the beam of electrons is replaced by a beam of muons (particles with the same charge as electrons but with a mass $208$ times that of electrons). The condition for no deflection is satisfied if:

  • A
    $B$ is increased $208$ times
  • B
    $E$ is increased $208$ times
  • C
    $B$ is increased $14.4$ times
  • D
    None of these
