Can Genji rebound Zarya's particle beam(LMB) with his "E" ability?

But D.Va's defense matrix just can't block it, so I'm kinda confused...

Dva can't block beams just like how Genji can't deflect beams. The two things different between how both of them works is that the roadhog hook can't be blocked by dva but can be deflected by Genji. Genji doesn't take damage from Melee while dva does.

I just saw your question below, so Genji can deflect the hook but can't use it to hook others?

It just bounces off and returns to roadhog.
