The correct answer is the protons are accelerated upward.

Explanation:

Magnetic force causes a charged particle to move in a circular or spiral path. Protons in gigantic accelerators are kept in a circular path by magnetic force. A beam of protons is directed horizontally into the region between two bar magnets. The effect of the magnetic field on the protons is that the protons are accelerated upward.
