Which one of the following statements BEST explains what is meant by the "dual nature" of the electron? A : An electron may be either in a quasi-free state as in a metal or in a tightly-bound state deep within an atom. B : An electron plays a role in the production of both magnetic and electric fields. C : An electron can be transmitted in a beam as in a television or through a wire. D : An electron may act with either particle-like or wave-like characteristics. E : An electron can travel at very small velocities or be at rest. It's motion adequately described by Newton's laws of motion.
