After de Broglie proposed the wave nature of matter, Davisson and Germer demonstrated the wavelike behavior of electrons by observing an interference pattern from electrons scattering off what

Scattering is an interaction that can happen when a given particle or wave, like an electron, impacts a target or material. Then the electron changes it's original path and leaves some energy in the process. (This is a really simplified explanation of scattering, this is a really complex phenomenon, but let's not dive into that path)

Particularly, Davisson and Germer used a beam of electrons against a target of nickel, and these scattered electrons were detected by a detector. All of that in a vacuum chamber.

Then the correct answer is a nickel target.

"After de Broglie proposed the wave nature of matter, Davisson and Germer demonstrated the wavelike behavior of electrons by observing an interference pattern from electrons scattering off a nickel target"

think its the third option
