A) $a \mathrm{~m}_{\mathrm{p}} / \mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{e}}$ in the $-\mathrm{z}$ direction
B) $a \mathrm{~m}_{\mathrm{p}} / \mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{e}}$ in the $+\mathrm{z}$ direction
C) $a$ in the $-\mathrm{z}$ direction
D) $a$ in the $+\mathrm{z}$ direction
E) $a \mathrm{~m}_{\mathrm{e}} / \mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{p}}$ in the $+\mathrm{z}$ direction
F) $a \mathrm{~m}_{\mathrm{e}} / \mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{p}}$ in the $-\mathrm{z}$ direction
