The correct answer is:

C) 1.32 × 10⁻²⁴ Ns

Explanation:

Using the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle:

Δx × Δp >= h/4π

Rearranging to solve for Δp:

Δp >= h / (4π × Δx)

Plugging in values:
Δp >= (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J s) / (4π × 5 × 10⁻¹⁰ m)
≈ 1.055 × 10⁻²⁴ kg m/s
Converting to Ns (Newton-seconds):
Δp ≈ 1.055 × 10⁻²⁴ kg m/s ≈ 1.32 × 10⁻²⁴ Ns

So, the correct answer is C) 1.32 × 10⁻²⁴ Ns.
