An electron is moving along the positive $X$-axis. You want to apply a magnetic field for a short time so that the electron may reverse its direction and move parallel to the negative $X$-axis. This can be done by applying the magnetic field along

  • A
    $Y$-axis
  • B
    $Z$-axis
  • C
    $Y$-axis only
  • D
    Both $(A)$ and $(B)$
