A.

An experiment conducted by English physicist Joseph John Thomson supported the hypothesis that the particles in the cathode ray are negatively charged. He was successful in determining the charge-to-mass ratio of particles in a cathode ray. According to his findings, regardless of the type of metal, the ratio was the same and will remain the same if the gas inside the tube changes.As a result, Thomson concluded that all cathode rays contain identical negatively charged particles known as electrons.
