:
A
According to Thomson's atomic model, the positive charge is uniformly distributed in the sphere and electrons are embedded in it just like a plum pudding.This implies that when alpha particles are bombarded on the atoms, they should get deflected uniformly.
However, in the Rutherford alpha particle scattering experiment, it was found that rays were deflected in various angles.
