The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Cathode Rays**: Cathode rays are streams of particles that are emitted from the cathode (the negative electrode) in a vacuum tube when a high voltage is applied. 2. **Observation of the Experiment**: In a cathode ray discharge tube, when voltage is applied, a green glow is observed. This glow indicates the presence of particles moving from the cathode to the anode. 3. **Determining the Charge**: The anode is positively charged, and since opposite charges attract, the particles that are emitted from the cathode must be negatively charged. 4. **Identification of Cathode Rays**: The particles that make up cathode rays are identified as electrons, which are negatively charged subatomic particles. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, cathode rays are made up of negatively charged particles, specifically electrons. **Final Answer**: Cathode rays are made up of negatively charged particles (electrons). ---
