Radioactivity — practice question

A beam of radiation made up of $^{{4}}_{{2}}\alpha$-particles, $^{{0}}_{{-1}}\beta$-particles and $^{{0}}_{{0}}\gamma$-rays travels between two parallel plates. One plate carries a positive charge while the other carries a negative charge. Which radioactive emissions are attracted to the positively charged plate?

  • A$^{{4}}_{{2}}\alpha$-particles only
  • B$^{{0}}_{{-1}}\beta$-particles only
  • C$^{{0}}_{{0}}\gamma$-rays only
  • D$^{{4}}_{{2}}\alpha$-particles, $^{{0}}_{{-1}}\beta$-particles and $^{{0}}_{{0}}\gamma$-rays
