  1. Answer:

    C. R^2

    Explanation:

    A cyclotron is a particle accelerator which employs the use of electric and magnetic fields for its functioning. It consists of two D shaped region called dees and the magnetic field present in the dee is responsible for making sure the charges follow the half-circle and then to a gap in between the dees.

    R is denoted as the radius of the final orbit then the final particle energy is proportional to the radius of the two dees. This however translates to the energy being proportional to R^2.
