DeBroglie's idea that electrons are really waves was first tested by

(A) generating and detecting the waves.

No. --- Electrons already are waves.
They do not need to be generated.

DeBroglie's idea that electrons are really waves was first tested by

(B) single slit diffraction.

No. --- The slit needs to be really narrow
or the electrons need to be really slow.

DeBroglie's idea that electrons are really waves was first tested by

(C) a two-slit interference experiment.

No. --- The slits need to be too close
together for the available electron energies.
