The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

An electron is a charged particle, so it naturally produces an electric field. When the electron moves, it constitutes an electric current, and moving charges generate a magnetic field as per Ampère’s law.

Therefore, a moving electron produces:

  • An electric field (due to its charge)
  • A magnetic field (due to its motion)

A moving electron produces both electric and magnetic fields. Hence, the correct answer is \({\text{B}} \).
