Correct Answer

A

Explanation

Electromagnetic radiations are not deflected in both electric and magnetic fields and gamma rays are one of them.The particle that cannot be deflected by both electric and magnetic fields is the neutron. Neutrons have no electric charge, so they are not affected by electric fields. Additionally, since they have no net magnetic moment, they are not influenced by magnetic fields either.
