Thomson experimented with

1. protrons
2. cathode rays
3. alpha particles
4. gold foil

Correct answer: cathode rays

Solution

Thomson is known for his cathode ray tube experiments, where he showed the rays were deflected by electric and magnetic fields. This work led to the discovery of the electron, so the correct choice is cathode rays.
