A proton travels through a constant magnetic field in the negative y-direction while moving in the negative x-direction. The proton will be subject to a magnetic pull that is directed into the page. Option B is correct.

<h3>What is the right-hand thumb rule?</h3>

Hold a current-carrying conductor in your right hand with your thumb pointing in the direction of the current then wrap your fingers around the conductor and orient them in the direction of the magnetic field lines.

A proton travels through a constant magnetic field in the negative y-direction while moving in the negative x-direction.

The proton will be subject to a magnetic pull that is directed into the page.

Hence, option B is correct.
