The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "C) The alpha particle will be deflected in a curve path. " the result of an alpha particle coming into a magnetic field is that C) The alpha particle will be deflected in a curve path. 

Answer: C) The alpha particle will be deflected in a curve path.

Explanation:  

Alpha particle carries +2 charge. It is a Helium ion: He⁺²

When any charged particle enters a magnetic field, it experiences a magnetic force perpendicular to direction of the velocity of the particle and the direction of the magnetic field. Thus, the alpha particle moves in a circular path.

Hence, the correct answer is: The result of an alpha particle coming into a magnetic field is C) The alpha particle will be deflected in a curve path.
