Best answer

The correct option is (b) momentum.

Explanation:

The de -Broglie wavelength of a particle or a photon is given by λ = h/p 

where h is the Planck's constant and p is the momentum. 

As the electron and the photon are having the same wavelength λ, the momentum of both of them will be the same.
