The formula used to calculate the de-Broglie wavelength of a proton is:
\lambda_{proton}= \frac{h}{\sqrt{2m_{p}K}}

where h is Planck's constant, m_{p} is the mass of a proton, and K is the kinetic energy gained by the proton.

Given, K= 100eV= 100\times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}J

Substituting the values, we get:
\lambda_{proton}= \frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2 \times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times1.6 \times10^{-19}}}
\lambda_{proton}= 0.510A

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
