The Attempt at a Solution

I don't know. I thought a good answer would be that they can be diffracted in the same way as waves but that's not an option...

What properties do waves exhibit other than diffraction?

Interference? Can particles exhibit interference also?

Interference? Can particles exhibit interference also?

Waves only exhibit interference. But if a particle shows interference, then it should have a wave nature.

Yes. The double-split experiment with electrons is a good demonstration of this.
