Problem 7
A
$\lambda_{\alpha} = 2.88 \times 10^{-15} \textrm{ m, }$ $\lambda_{p} = 5.75 \times 10^{-15} \textrm{ m}$
The ratio of wavelength to the diameter of a nucleon is, for an alpha particle: $1.2$, whereas for a proton: $2.4$. The alpha particle will provide better resolution since it's wavelength is comparatively smaller.
