Well the question actually does make sense. The photoelectric effect refers to the emission of electrons from a metal when light shines on the metal. In this description light is referred to as having wave and particle like properties. From this experiment scientists concluded that the electron and subatomic particles can also have wave in addition to particle like properties.

A gamma ia a neutron so a gamma ray is a stream of neutrons. And neutrons have a greater mass than electrons so B is right
