Correct answer: C

  1. Use Bohr’s quantization condition for the first orbit

For the electron in the first Bohr orbit (n=1)(n=1)(n=1), mvr=nh2π=h2πmvr=\frac{nh}{2\pi}=\frac{h}{2\pi}mvr=2πnh​=2πh​

So, v=h2πmrv=\frac{h}{2\pi mr}v=2πmrh​

  1. Write centripetal acceleration

The electron moves in a circular orbit, so its acceleration is centripetal: a=v2ra=\frac{v^2}{r}a=rv2​

Substitute vvv from above: a=1r(h2πmr)2a=\frac{1}{r}\left(\frac{h}{2\pi mr}\right)^2a=r1​(2πmrh​)2

  1. Simplify

a=1r⋅h24π2m2r2a=\frac{1}{r}\cdot \frac{h^2}{4\pi^2 m^2 r^2}a=r1​⋅4π2m2r2h2​

a=h24π2m2r3a=\frac{h^2}{4\pi^2 m^2 r^3}a=4π2m2r3h2​

  1. Match with the options

This matches: h24π2m2r3\boxed{\frac{h^2}{4\pi^2 m^2 r^3}}4π2m2r3h2​​

So the correct option is C.
