A positive charged particle placed on a frictionless table by attaching it to a string fixed at one point of

magnetic field is switched on in the vertical direction, the tension in the string
(A) will increase (B) will decrease
(C) will remain same (D) may increase or decrease

pls explain the question

I don't see why a string is needed to keep the particle on the table. There needs to be no tension at all. Besides, a magnetic field does not act on a stationary charge.
