After Millikan performed his oil drop experiment, he concluded that

  1. (A)there is a minimum amount of charge that a particle can acquire
  2. (B)oil drops exhibit gravitational attraction for other oil drops
  3. (C)oil drops are largely empty space
  4. (D)the specific charge of the electron is 1.8 \times 10^{11}\text{ C}\text{ kg}^{-1}
