Alpha particles have both high mass and low velocity, but it would be the former that determines why they can't penetrate. An alpha particle is made of two protons and two neutrons, which is quite a large mass for a particle. This large mass keeps it from penetrating too deeply into anything, since it will essentially "get stuck" when it comes too near to another atom.
So the answer, I believe, is B. Alpha particles have high mass.

The graph below plots four main sequence stars according to their luminosity and temperature.
saul85 [17]
There is a positive correlation between luminosity and mass of stars, meaning the more luminous a star is, the more massive it is likely to be as well. Given this, the masses of the stars should be in descending order of brightness. 

Star 1 is the most luminous, so it should be heaviest, and the luminosity descends to Star 4.
Option B is the only chart that conforms to this, so it is the answer. 

Answer is B
