B) You decrease the electrons uncertainty in position while leaving its uncertainty in velocity unaffected.
C) You decrease the electrons uncertainty in velocity while leaving its uncertainty in position unaffected.
D) You increase the electron's uncertainty in position while decreasing its uncertainty in velocity.
E) You decrease the electron's uncertainty in velocity and also decrease its uncertainty in position.
