interference

reflection
absorption
Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
When electrons pass through two slits, the waves from each slit spread out and overlap. Other options are incorrect because Diffraction is the bending of waves around edges, but the double‑slit experiment shows the pattern formed by overlapping waves, not simply the bending; Reflection is a wave bouncing off a surface, which does not create the alternating bands seen on the screen.
