Which of the following will not show deflection from the path on passing through an electric field? Proton, cathode rays, electron, neutron

Neutron shows no deflection from the path passing through the electric field. This is due to the neutrality of neutron particles. Therefore, it has no charge and is not affected by any electrical field. Among the other 3 proton particles, the electron and the cathode rays have charges in them so that they can be easily deflected by the electric field.
