A parallel beam of electrons travelling in $\displaystyle x$-direction falls on a slit of width d (see figure). If after passing the slit, an electron acquires momentum $\displaystyle \mathrm{p}_y$ in the $\displaystyle y$-direction then for a majority of electrons passing through the slit (h is Planck's constant) :

Official answer
(3)
$\displaystyle \left|\mathrm{p}_y\right| \mathrm{d}<\mathrm{h}$
